Location
Students can access COR through the south-east entrance of Leonard Hall, near the dining hall. Street address is 128 Queen’s Crescent near the corner of Albert Street and Queen’s Crescent.
Students can travel to COR via Amey’s Taxi and receive a taxi chit to pay for the ride. Please ask the taxi to wait and come into COR to ask volunteers to provide you with a chit.
All Queen’s students, alumni and guests to Queen’s are welcome at COR. We do not admit St. Lawrence, Royal Military College (RMC) or local high school students, unless they are identified as a guest of a Queen’s student.
Beyond that, the criteria to be admitted include:
- Intoxicated by alcohol
- Able to walk (with support) and talk (mutters are OK)
- Willingness to stay
- No major injuries (i.e., if someone has hit their head or is bleeding heavily, they will need to be medically cleared by a physician first)
- Students who are intoxicated are assessed and monitored by professional Addictions Support Workers (ASWs) and trained student volunteers.
- COR is always confidential, but our services are not anonymous. We collect only the information we need to help keep you safe.
- If their condition warrants it, COR staff will send students for medical help at the Emergency Department.
- Visitors to COR usually sleep and are monitored by staff so they can be helped immediately if their condition worsens.
- All visitors are awakened at 6:30 am and are almost always sent home at this time. If a visitor is still heavily intoxicated and unsafe to leave, alternate arrangements will be made to ensure their safety.
