Members of the Keep It Social team at Touchdown Atlantic
The Saint Mary’s Keep It Social team recently made an appearance at the CFL’s Touchdown Atlantic event hosted at Saint Mary’s University at the end of July. Keep it Social is a student-led partnership with the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation (NSLC) which promotes responsible consumption, personal choice and a culture of moderation on East Coast campuses. The Keep it Social campus teams work to empower students to reduce the risks of consumption and respect their individual limits.
Members from the Saint Mary’s Keep It Social team, Student Life Coordinator, Liv Brennan, Welcome Activities Coordinator, Toky Tajwar and Student Transitions Specialist, Emma Rota, alongside student volunteers, participated in the Touchdown Atlantic pre-game tailgate event to help share the Keep It Social message and support participants in having a safe and fun time. The team distributed mini Keep It Social footballs and noise makers, and even boasted a 360° photo booth, while reminding participants about safe consumption, hydrating and making the safe choices for their own limits.
The SMU Keep It Social team is available for training sessions and can be present during events where substances may be consumed. If you’re interested in booking the SMU Keep It Social Team, or would like to get involved, email student.life@smu.ca.
