Celebrating York Spirit Day!

Once a year, the York community is invited to participate in festivities where we celebrate and recognize the students, staff, faculty, course instructors and alumni who continue to make positive change.

As a university with a community spirit that is second to none, we are excited to show our #YUSpirit by wearing York University colours (red, white or blue) and gear.

This year, we are excited to offer events, activities, treats and giveaways including a giant flag drone photo, community tree planting, bubble soccer, food pop-up shops, club fairs, photo booths, a community art mural, yoga sessions, pop-up games and more!

Join us for York Spirit Day on Weds. March 26, 2025 at the Keele, Glendon & Markham campuses to celebrate our community excellence.
