Join the Club!

New to SFU? Missed clubs day? Finding it hard to make friends? Tired of sitting alone on Friday reading from the Book of Cthulu? Well I’ll bet there’s a club that can take your mind off those ancient maddening thoughts! JOIN THE CLUB is a feature that showcases some of SFU’s lesser known clubs!

This week we highlight . . . The Witness Protection Club

Founded at an undisclosed time sometime between the years 1965 and 2012, the Witness Protection Club is open to any student who is feeling alone or scared, but also threatened by someone they saw commit a heinous crime. So, if you recently witnessed a murder or an armed robbery and think the perpetrator might have gotten a good look at you, don’t delay in joining this club!

Unfortunately, despite being one of SFU’s most popular clubs for students facing extreme danger, there isn’t a lot of public information about the Witness Protection Club. For some reason they aren’t listed among SFSS clubs and never publicly release their meeting times or locations.

Anyways, if you’re interested in joining them or just checking them out, they get together every Monday from 12:30–2:30 in AQ5047 under the guise of an upper level English course in “Early Shakespeare.” I know because my friend Todd Simpson is a member; he was one of the witnesses in the case of the Burnaby Mangler. So if you want to say “hi” to him, he’ll definitely be there at that time and location. Just ask for John Smith. Have fun!

The charter was born out of a series of forums hosted in 2020 by the University of Toronto, featuring representatives from schools across the country. The product of these dialogues was four principles acting as guiding structures in the pursuit of anti-racist institutions: Black flourishing, inclusive excellence, mutuality, and accountability. Included in the charter is a recognition of the importance of “constructing affirming, accessible spaces” for...
