Preamble

Archi·North is a bilingual, tricultural and in-person architecture summer camp run by Canada’s newest architecture school, the McEwen School of Architecture at Laurentian University. Archi·North is dedicated to offering an unconventional pre-university experience that challenges participants to exercise new ways of seeing – and re-imagining – the world around them. An Archi·North participant commits to full participation in the program, positively contributing to team dynamics and being respectful of others at all times.

Archi·North has the responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of all members in the summer camp program, and therefore seeks to balance the rights of the individuals against the welfare of the larger group. Participant’s behaviour, actions, and communications (both verbal and written) are to be consistent with Archi·North values at all times.

1.0 Participant Code of Conduct

Archi·North institutes a Code of Conduct, policies, and boundaries to ensure that participants and campus team members are safe, and the program objectives are met. As a result, the rules that we have in place are all extremely important, and all participants must follow them.

1.1 Respect for Self and Others

Every participant shall:

• Respect the rights and dignity of all members of the Archi·North camp.
• Demonstrate responsibility, recognizing that words and behaviours are an
  example to other participants.
• Demonstrate consideration, integrity, due diligence, and good judgment in all interpersonal relationships and interactions.
• Consider the physical and emotional safety of others, and support members of the camp in their goals and efforts.
• Maintain open and honest communications.
• Be friendly, courteous, and kind, encouraging the participation of others while being sensitive to the different capacities of camp members.

1.2 Safety and Security

It is important that participants behave responsibly and do not compromise their own personal safety or endanger the safety of others. The Archi·North team reserves the right to determine what constitutes unsafe practices, and participants are required to follow the instructions of the Archi·North instructors.

1.3 Drugs and Alcohol

Archi·North has a zero tolerance on the consumption and/or possession of recreational or illegal drugs and/or alcohol, which are both unlawful and strictly forbidden.

1.4 Weapons

Archi·North has a zero tolerance on participants carrying, or having in their possession or belongings, any weapon as defined in the Criminal Code of Canada. This includes, but is not limited to any firearm, weapon, imitation of a weapon, ammunition, hunting knife, prohibited device or dangerous chemicals including explosives and fireworks.

1.5 Lost, Stolen or Damaged Property

The Archi·North program is not liable, directly or indirectly, for any loss or theft of personal property, or for damage or destruction of such property.

1.6 Sexual Harassment / Abuse

All members of the Archi·North camp have a right to a safe and supportive environment that respects the dignity and self-esteem of all.
Sexual harassment can be regarded as an unwarranted intrusion upon the sexual dignity of a person, and it can include jokes, innuendos, insults, sexist remarks, derogatory or pornographic pictures, leering, touching, or kissing. It is any conduct, comment, gesture or contact of a sexual nature, whether on a one-time basis or in a series of incidents, that could cause offence, embarrassment, or humiliation, or that could be perceived by the individual as placing a condition of a sexual nature on their acceptance, involvement or inclusion. Sexual harassment may be directed at any person, including participants and campus team members.
Behaviour which constitutes sexual harassment or abuse is neither condoned nor tolerated.

1.7 Harassment, Bullying and Violence

The following behaviour will not be tolerated within the Archi·North program, on host university/program property or at any program-sponsored or related activities:

• Any physical assault, threats of assault, intimidation, or bullying.
• Any jokes, slurs, remarks, comments, or any other behaviour of a derogatory or oppressive nature relating to another person’s religion, creed, race, gender, sexual orientation, colour, ancestry, ethnicity, or disability.
• Any abuse of any nature including emotional or psychological abuse, verbal violence and/or social exclusion.
• Vandalism or destruction of property belonging to the host university, Archi·North, or any other person or entity.
• Hate-motivated comments or behaviour.
• Verbal or written statements that could be construed as threats of violence.

1.8 Leaving Campus

Once the program commences, no participant is permitted to leave campus or a
scheduled program activity during camp hours without explicit permission from an authorized Archi·North team member and signed permission from a parent/legal guardian.

2.0 Disciplinary Action

When a participant is in breach of the Code of Conduct, or fails to comply with a rule, policy, procedure, or direction from an Archi·North instructor, action will be taken. Action will include a range of consequences up to and including immediate expulsion from the program. Archi·North reserves the right to determine appropriate disciplinary action(s).

2.1 Expulsion from the Program

Expulsion from the program will result in the forfeiture of any program fee or bursary awarded. The parent/legal guardian or designated contact person will be responsible for coordinating travel arrangements for the participants to return home safely. They will also assume all costs associated with such travel.

3.0 Program Administration

3.1 Cancellation of Program

In the event that Archi·North must cancel a program, a full refund will be issued.

3.2 Transportation

Parents/legal guardians and participants are responsible for making travel arrangements to and from the campus, assume all costs associated with travel and to purchase cancellation insurance. Archi·North assumes no responsibility for the safety, care, or well-being of participants during travel to or from the campus.

CODE OF CONDUCT

We believe that a safe and inviting camp environment is not only a right, but also essential for optimum social, emotional, intellectual and physical growth.

I have requested that an EpiPen be administered in the event of an Anaphylaxis emergency.
