​For the third year in a row, Howe Hall, Shirreff Hall, Risley Hall, Gerard Hall, and Mini-Residence houses will be substance-free for the duration of Orientation Week, from August 31 to September 9, 2019. Students and their guests are not permitted to consume or be in possession of alcohol or cannabis within those residence buildings during that time.​

Orientation plays an important role in students' transition to university, and having substance-free residences during that time helps provide an environment that best allows them to learn and adjust to their new surroundings.
