The Western University Vegan Society is an inclusive community working towards a peaceful world, free from violence and discrimination towards all animals – human and non. We promote the abolition of animal exploitation through creative, nonviolent vegan education. The essence of veganism is nonviolence and respect for others. Nonhuman animals are sentient beings who value their lives and have interests similar to ours. They shouldn’t be the property (things) of another. Therefore, vegans do not eat, wear or exploit animals for any purposes. WUVS seeks to empower others to becomes agents of positive social change and encourage them to live in accordance with their values. We can all agree that inflicting unnecessary suffering and death on animals is wrong, yet most of us still participate in this unnecessary harm by using animals. We welcome anyone interested in engaging in open-minded, positive and inclusive dialogue about the ethical, environmental, health, and other social justice issues associated with our use of nonhuman animals. Throughout the year we will be hosting a variety of educational and social events. These will include presentations by acclaimed activists and authors, workshops, film screenings, potlucks, dinner outings, sanctuary visits, and vegan outreach initiatives. We offer a supportive environment where everyone is welcome, especially those who are curious about veganism. We hope you will join us in building a more just, peaceful and nonviolent world.

The Sign Language Club aims to provide a place for Western students with an interest in American Sign Language (ASL) to learn and practice together. We have weekly meetings and events to help us learn not only the vocabulary and syntax of ASL but also the history and culture of d/Deaf communities. Our club aims to explore d/Deaf culture for a comprehensive understanding of the community behind the language and focuses on accessibility in a collaborative-based environment using trusted resources and guest speakers. We are an open space for anyone who wants to join and learn, no matter your prior knowledge of ASL!

The Space Society of London (SSoL) is a Western Club for anyone who has an interest in space.

Join us for our many stargazing nights, guest speakers, movie nights, rocket launches and many other fun activities.

The Western Association of Role Players is a vibrant community with the goal of encouraging the enjoyment of tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs). These are verbal storytelling games that you play with dice and paper and a group of your friends! We have a wide variety of events to help folks find games to join, to learn more about TTRPGs, and to foster community. Our year starts with Introcon, which is free for everyone to attend. Gamekeepers will pitch their games, and you get to chat with them and pick a game you’d like to join. Or you can be the one to pitch your game and gather players! After that, we host a number of one-shot conventions, where we gather to play themed one-shots that our members have put together. We also partake in a multi-university game night called Dungeons, Dragons and Donations, to raise money for charity! You can also come learn more about TTRPGs and how to better your skills as a player and gamekeeper in our WARP workshops. And this year, we’ll have some extra surprise activities that we can’t wait to share with you. Come roll some dice with us this year!
