Frosh Traditions
Health Coat
Health Coats (referred to as “Coats”) are a tradition among many health faculty’s all across Canada. When we graduate and become professional urban health professionals, policymakers, planners, changemakers, healthcare specialists, teachers, and doctors, we often are the ones keeping the backbones of society afloat. To remember and respect the public health professionals, doctors, and scientists who created our collective community services fields we wear lab coat to symbolize that the history of health is always evolving from the heart of us all.
At Toronto Metropolitan University the Frosh Leaders will Tie Dye our health coats to differentiate between us and the Faculty of Science white Lab Coats. Community Services is about highlighting our different pedagogy practices in improving our urban communities health through our collective diverse backgrounds, plus skill sets.
Silent Disco
A popular FCSS tradition is our annual silent disco rave during SLC Live! FCS Community Services students know how to party and we love to show off to the other faculty's how vibrant our nightlife can get.

Belinda Bee
The Faculty of Community Services Society has a Honey Bee as our mascot due to all of our key-stone fields working to keep society and our communites afloat . Welcome to our honey bee hive future Community Services student.
Belinda Bee tryouts commence in the summer of each year.
Mascots are a massive tradition among many Professional Health and City Building faculties across Canada. When we graduate and become professional urban health professionals, policymakers, planners, changemakers, healthcare specialists, teachers, lawyers, and doctors, we often are the ones keeping the backbones of society afloat and working just like Honey Bee colonies in a hive.
We're located in the most significant working hive in Canada, downtown Toronto, and our collective professions are keystones to the development of building better communities.

The Faculty of Community Services colours are Green, Gold, and Navy. The Green resembles Community. The Navy Blue represents Determination. The Gold represents Unity.
