Sports

Throughout the year, WolfPack Recreation organizes and implements a variety of special events, intramural sports, and fitness classes for the university community. Many activities are free, while others require a minimal fee. It is our mission to strengthen the bonds that make us a tight-knit university community, so grab your friends, roommates, instructors — even the random person sitting next to you in class — and get in the game!

Learn more about what activities are available on TRU Wolfpack's recreation page.

Activities

The Activity Guide is published three times per year and offers a wide range of programs, including swimming lessons; exercise and dance classes; cooking, language, and arts courses; outdoor activities; and more.

Clubs

TRUSU Clubs are a great way to get involved in your campus and community, as well as make some new friends. Whether it’s supporting each other academically, sharing a common interest, making a difference, or hosting an event, clubs are a vibrant part of the university experience. There are over 80 TRUSU Clubs active on campus, from kayaking and snowboarding to French and social work! There really is a club for everyone!

Information Technology

TRU is consistently rated number one among its peers in Canada for the quality of its information technology services.

Cultural

TRU is incorporating Indigenous ways of knowing and community needs into our scholarship and research, and supporting Indigenous student success through culturally relevant services and learning options.

Join us at Cplul'kw'ten — the gathering place! Cplul'kw'ten is a friendly and inviting Indigenous centre that provides information on all aspects of university life and doubles as a place to socialize, study, or just take a break from your day. It is truly a home away from home.

The Equity Committee also recognizes the inequities that Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, or Queer (LGBTQ) students face in society and hosts a Pride Parade every September to address these equity issues.

Special Services

Graduate students have access to the Graduate commons — your study and workspace away from home. Here you will find quiet areas, areas for informal gatherings, long tables, whiteboards and a kitchen with complementary coffee and tea. Access to the commons is 24/7 and by way of a secure entry.

International Involvement

TRU is a leading destination in Canada for international students. International enrolment now exceeds 3,500 students from 100+ nations worldwide. New international students and applicants at TRU receive prompt application and registration assistance from our dedicated International Admissions team.
