The St. Amand Grief and Memorial Centre is a calm and inclusive space created to offer a place where University of Ottawa students can reflect and honour the memory of a loved one. Designed with sensitivity and care, the centre welcomes everyone in a respectful environment.

Its mission is to support individuals experiencing grief, whether recent or long‑standing, by providing a safe space as well as resources to help them understand and navigate their experience. The centre fosters a culture of compassion, emotional awareness, and solidarity within the campus community.

In addition to offering a peaceful environment, the centre provides informational resources and occasional initiatives that encourage healing, remembrance, and human connection among students. Created by and for students, it aims to acknowledge the reality of grief at the university and to offer accessible, compassionate support.
