Guidelines for information tables and bake sales

1. Clubs must be registered

Clubs, course unions and advocacy groups must be registered and ratified by the UVSS, GSS or ATRS before space booking requests will be reviewed.

2. Information table usage

To ensure fair access to space, each student group may only book 3 information tables per term.

Information Tables are available for distributing information and may be used to sell tickets to fundraisers. No posters or banners for events involving bars or alcohol are permitted at these tables.

3. Signage and advertising

Signage, advertising or promotional materials at the table booking shall be in accordance with applicable university policies including but not limited to the university:

  • Discrimination and Harassment policy (GV0205);
  • Building Usage Policy - including Poster Regulations (BP3105); and
  • Liquor policy (AD2400).

4. Table provision and set-up

  • Only one table may be used per booking. If a student group wishes to have a table delivered to a lobby, this request must be submitted to the UVSS General Office, Graduate Students Society, or Athletics & Recreation Services.
  • Tables must be set up so that they do not impede traffic flow in the corridors or block doorways or exits. A lobby plan will be emailed to you with the booking confirmation for furniture placement purposes.

    • observing good personal hygiene;
    • ensuring that all food sold at a bake sale is protected from contamination and stored, handled, prepared, displayed and dispensed in a sanitary manner; and
    • displaying a sign that is clearly visible to the consumer stating that “THIS FOOD HAS BEEN PREPARED IN A KITCHEN THAT IS NOT INSPECTED BY A REGULATORY AUTHORITY.”
  9. Groups that wish to give out free food are expected to follow the guidelines outlined above.

6. Commercial vendors

Commercial vendors or materials advertising commercial services or businesses are not permitted unless authorized by the university’s Corporate Relations department or another appropriate authority within the university.

7. Usage restrictions

  • Student Groups that have been permitted to book a table shall only use the space for the approved purposes and times.
