With winter around the corner, we’re sharing some "cool" tips to keep you warm and safe. ❄️🌬️

Always prepare before leaving the house:

👕 Dress in layers: Stay warm by wearing multiple layers to trap heat. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add an insulating layer, and top it off with a waterproof and windproof outer layer.

👢 Wear warm and waterproof footwear: Opt for warm, waterproof boots with good traction to avoid slips and keep your feet dry.

⏱️ Plan extra time: Account for potential delays caused by weather conditions. You'll be less rushed and safer by giving yourself a buffer.

🌟 Wear bright & reflective clothing: Visibility is key. Choose bright colours and reflective gear to ensure you're seen by others in low light.

Stay alert and aware of your surroundings:

🚫 Don’t text and walk: Avoid distractions like texting while walking, as it can lead to accidents. Keep your focus on your surroundings.

💡 Use well-lit pathways: Stick to well-lit routes to enhance your visibility and reduce the risk of accidents.

🌦 Check the weather regularly: Be informed about the weather forecast. Adjust your route if necessary to avoid unsafe areas or icy sidewalks.

🚨 Report any safety concerns: If you notice hazards or have concerns, report them to Campus Safety at 416-978-2323.

Stay safe, U of T! 🙌❤️
