In order to ensure that CF 2027 is an accessible and inclusive event, we kindly ask the participants to follow the guidelines below:
- All CultureFest participants, including staff and volunteers, should be treated with mutual respect. Any arguments, derogatory statements, or harmful exchanges between organizations and their members will not be tolerated. The purpose of this event is to allow fruitful interactions between all clubs, staff, volunteers and general members;
- The York Federation of Students operates under a strict anti-oppressive framework. Any statements or actions considered racist, xenophobic, Antisemetic, islamophobic, misogynistic, ableist, homophobic, transphobic or otherwise oppressive will not be tolerated;
- Please be present 30 minutes prior to each call-time, unless specified otherwise, in order to ensure you receive the space allocated to you;
- No member shall be turned away to participate in CultureFest within your club;
- All participants must be current undergraduate students at York University (this will be monitored);
- Please submit all final versions of music for your performance(s) for review in MP3 format only on clearly labeled USBs, by 4pm on January 8, 2027. We will not be accepting any new music after this deadline;
- In all instances, without exception, the use of private security staff or paid-duty police officers for an event on University premises must be coordinated through the Community Safety Department. No security staff external to the University, volunteer or otherwise, is permitted at a campus event without the prior written approval of the Community Safety Department.
If any of these rules are broken, disciplinary action will be taken and it is up to the discretion of the CultureFest Organizing team to make decisions as it deems appropriate. This includes, but is not limited to:
