Take Our Kids To Work Day is November 5^th , 2025 – Applications due to EHS

The is promoting Take Our Kids to Work Day on November 5th, 2025 and local high schools may be participating in the program.  Although there may not be a centralized Take Your Kids to Work Day program at the university, it is still important that we ensure the health and safety of the visiting students that come to campus and ensure that we have done our due diligence for the activities they may participate in and locations they may  visit. 

To facilitate this, the Department of Environmental Health and Safety is distributing the Take Our Kids to Work Application form. It is required that employees who intend to have a child visit a Queen’s location on November 5^th  complete the form, including signature of the hosting employee’s supervisor or Department Head,  and then submit it to the Department of Environmental Health and Safety for review and approval.  Forms should be submitted by email to safety@queensu.ca by Monday, October 27^th to ensure enough time to review.

To support the health and safety of these visitors consider these steps and additional resources.
