SafeWalk service

Campus Safety and Prevention Services (CSPS) offers all Concordia community members a SafeWalk accompaniment service at both the Loyola and Sir George Williams campuses.

A CSPS team member or a member of the Student Safety Patrol can accompany you to and from locations within the designated red zones shown on the maps below. The service is available to all Concordia community members, including visitors, 24/7. 

Please note that SafeWalk requests cannot be booked in advance. Our dispatch team treats these requests as a priority and will send assistance as soon as possible, but emergencies may impact response times. The dispatcher will update you if there is a delay.

All students, faculty can also access  a virtual SafeWalk service via the Rave Guardian application on mobile devices. You can use the virtual SafeWalk even outside the in-person SafeWalk zones, as long as you have cellphone service. Campus Safety and Prevention Services will coordinate with local police departments if a response is required.

How it works:

• Set a timer while traveling from one location to another.
• Choose any contact with a cellphone as a "Guardian" to monitor your journey.
• Your guardian will receive a text invitation, and once accepted, can see your location while the timer runs.
• If you feel unsafe at any point during your travel, you can contact Campus Safety and Prevention Services at 514-848-3717).
• When you reach your destination safely, deactivate the timer. If the timer expires, your Guardian will be notified automatically.
