About Us:
The Western Duke of Edinburgh’s Club was created to give UWO students an avenue to begin and complete their involvement with the Internationally recognized Duke of Edinburgh Award. The club facilitates and encourages students to grow their interests through individually oriented skill development, community service, physical fitness and expeditions/explorations. Within the purpose of the club is to form a social environment that brings together students with similar interests, creating an atmosphere of encouragement, experience sharing, and dedication. The club will facilitate networking between our club members and other local, national, and international organizations.
The award is achieved by students making a bimonthly commitment to take part in physical recreation, community volunteering, and personal skill development of their choice. The award is internationally recognized for developing individuals who are dedicated, interesting, and active within their communities. It leaves requirements open-ended for students to decide their activities based upon their interests, and it also allows students to complete the award at their own pace. The Western Duke of Edinburgh’s Club is meant for UWO students to become involved, build a strong campus community, and to develop their own personal interests through this unique opportunity.

The spirit of Western since 1942. The longest-standing social club at Western is looking for new members to continue the legacy this year. First and foremost, The Purple Spur Society provides a community for all members with the goal of enhancing their university experience in a meaningful way. We use our vast outreach and strength in numbers to make significant contributions to hand-picked charities every year, raising $10,000 for True North Aid last year alone. This year, we have chosen to support Urban Haven Project, a local London charity that aims to support those most in need in our community. You can read more about them in our brochure, or on their website at https://urbanhavenproject.org/.

About us:
Friends of MSF UWO is a student association at Western University (The University of Western Ontario) affiliated with Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF, translated into English as Doctors Without Borders) Canada. We are a diverse organization of students from all disciplines of undergraduate and graduate levels who are dedicated to supporting MSF operations through global health awareness initiatives, fundraising, and community collaboration, both within Western’s campus and in the London community.
Our club is committed to diversity, as we believe that diverse interests and passions enhance the club environment and more accurately articulate MSF’s global involvement (that of executives, administrators, financiers, organizers, nurses, lab technicians, social activists, doctors, dentists, etc).
As the USC club of the year, two consecutive years in a row, we are proud representers of MSF’s UWO Western Chapter! This year we are building this chapter further by reaching a wider student basis with our Western’s Got Talent Show and Western University Research and Health Conference! Join the movement as we help MSF conquer the world’s issues, one fundraising/ awareness event at a time!
