Every year the Equity and Human Rights Offices recognize individuals and groups that are working toward making Queen’s a more inclusive and welcoming place.

The annual Tri-Awards (accessibility, equity, human rights) not only celebrate the achievements of Queen’s community members in the areas of employment equity, human rights, and accessibility but also reinforce the importance of the work being done.
