I can certainly speak to your latter question about making sure that the awareness of these services is long-standing and not just around in the hustle and bustle of the first week. Students can take in only so much information. There's quite a learning curve. Post-secondary campuses in themselves, aside from what we're discussing today, are complex and very new to so many. It can be an exciting time with a lot of information flowing through. I think there are a lot of really great examples all the way from Nova Scotia to my institution where there is a firm precedent to make sure that once the excitement settles down in September, students still realize what kinds of resources are available to them. It's all about setting that standard and making sure it's known, and then evaluating those best practices and seeing how they can be adopted campus to campus, because not one single post-secondary institution is like another.
