Sensory Bags
Sensory kits will be available to borrow from our event registration desk. Each sensory kit contains tools designed to support self-regulation and help reduce sensory overload.
Fidget Toys
In the meeting area itself, you will find a small basket of fidget toys on the tables. Free to play and fidget, but please leave them behind for the next fidgeter.
Lap Blankets
We understand venue temperatures can be unpredictable, so we’ve got you covered! We offer fluffy lap blankets to help you stay comfortable. You will find these blankets placed throughout the venue. If you are feeling chilly, please grab one.
Frequent and Extended Breaks
We prioritize the health and wellness of our attendees by including frequent and extended breaks in our event schedules. We often adjust the start and end times to allow for more time between sessions, and we provide longer breaks than typical conferences to give attendees time to rest, recharge, and network. By doing so, we hope to create an environment that promotes learning, collaboration, and well-being.
Photography Opt-Out
Often we have a photographer at in-person BCcampus events to capture images for our digital platforms and promotional materials. Attendees are free to decline the media release. Red lanyards identify people who do not wish to be photographed.
Sunflower Hidden Disabilities Initiative
BCcampus is a proud member of the Sunflower Hidden Disabilities initiative. Hidden disabilities – such as neurodivergence, chronic illness, health conditions, learning disabilities, and sensory processing differences – are not always immediately apparent, yet they shape how many people experience learning, work, and public spaces.
If you wish to signal to others that you have a hidden disability, please take a Sunflower lanyard available at our registration desk. Staff wearing the Sunflower have been trained to respond respectfully and appropriately when support is requested.
Participation in the Sunflower program is always optional. Wearing or displaying the Sunflower does not require disclosure of a diagnosis – it simply signals a preference for understanding and consideration.
If you require any support or have any questions, email sunflower@bccampus.ca
