Your On Campus Space for Community Organizing

OPIRG Carleton is a student-led, student-funded non-profit based at Carleton University. We aim to research, educate and provide action on social and environmental justice using a non-hierarchical and consensus based space for students to organize.

We’re open during the summer

Located at 326 Nideyinàn, our office will be open from Tuesdays - Thursdays, 11am - 4pm with some flexibility for holidays, events, meetings and staffing. Check our Public Office Hours for any changes. We’re located upstairs from the Multi-Faith Prayer Rooms, downstairs from the CUSA Office on the third floor inaccessible by elevator.
