Cam Hicks’ Kids Foundation (Cam’s Kids) is focused on supporting young people struggling with anxiety, helping them cope effectively to reach their full potential and realize their dreams.
Cam’s Kids is committed to “Supporting Young People Struggling with Anxiety” by:

Creating awareness of common anxiety symptoms in young people, assisting in early identification.

Providing tools, lifestyle tips and resources, empowering young people to learn how to manage and overcome anxiety, and know where to reach out for help.

Encouraging peer-to-peer support through our Nationwide Ambassador Program by sharing young people's stories, raising awareness of mental health, and creating a judgment-free community.

Cam’s Kids pursues this vision through three primary programs:

Website, Newsletter and Social Media Content

Cam's Kids’ website is the core component of the foundation. Through the website, newsletter and various social media channels, Cam's Kids provides the relevant information required to promote anxiety awareness, provide the tools, and tell the stories which enable us to achieve our mandate.

National Ambassador Program and Corporate Leaders Program

Cam's Kids believes in the transformative and empowering nature of peer and community support. When young people learn about anxiety and hear stories from others, there is often comfort in knowing that others care and may relate to what they are going through.

Our ambassadors are young volunteers and represent Cam's Kids in their respective communities across Canada. They promote awareness in high schools, universities, colleges, and community centres and assist in promoting Cam's Kids through other activities such as poster campaigns and volunteering at fundraising events in support of Cam's Kids.

In August 2020, the TCSA undertook a comprehensive review of our policies, training, advocacy, and community engagement practices to identify areas for improvement in supporting anti-racism initiatives and addressing the needs of our BIPOC and racialized members, leading to the creation of the Freedom Lounge, a safe place where BIPOC students could come together and celebrate culture, diversity, experiences, and more. As the seasons have evolved and the utilization of this space by BIPOC students has increased, it became clear that a change was necessary. The name “Freedom Lounge” no longer resonated with students as it once did.

As of August 2024, we are pleased to announce that the Freedom Lounge will now be known as the CIRCLE, which stands for Culture, Inclusion, Rejoicing, Community, Lounge, Experience. This new designation reflects our commitment to providing a culturally safe, comfortable, and accountable space where students can build community, feel empowered, celebrate their lived experiences, and honor the diverse cultures and heritages present on our campus.

In this space, we are dedicated to engaging all students in initiatives that actively challenge and dismantle oppressive, racist, and colonial ideologies and practices. We invite students of all backgrounds to join us in uniting our community and learning from our history to ensure that we do not repeat past injustices.

Trent’s Sustainability Office (SO) was established in 2007 to address impacts of our expanding campus. Our mission has always been collaborative, involving students, faculty, staff, and the local community in developing and implementing sustainable solutions. From the start, our mandate has focused on minimizing the environmental impacts of Trent’s campus, integrating real-world sustainability connections into the classroom to support faculty and students, and creating active partnerships to support local community sustainability initiatives.

Our efforts extend across the university, and the results of these efforts have been significant. Since 2007, even with a 70% increase in student population and a 14% increase in building space, we have achieved:

~20% reduction in GHG emissions,
~40% decrease in water usage,
~20% reduction in waste sent to landfill per person, and over
~30% increase in waste diversion.

We are extremely proud to provide leadership to the Trent community supporting these achievements. We also recognize that there is always more to do. Sustainability is a continuous journey, and we invite you to join us in our ongoing efforts to support Trent’s leadership in advancing sustainability.

We are always open to suggestions and feedback or curious conversations from all community members!
