Trans People Welcome is a Campus-wide initiative that builds on previous campus work that designated ‘Washrooms for Everyone’ signage on individual washrooms, adding additional visibility by installing signage to welcome and include trans people in the gendered multi-stall washrooms on campus. Additionally, a UFV community-wide educational session was offered on April 27, 2022, as part of the Provost’s Lunch and Learn series, to educate the university community and launch the project.

There are two projects focused on refugee and immigrant experiences in BC being done at UFV. The first is a research project to understand the 'landscape' of refugee and newcomer-focused organizations, activists, leaders, services, and activities in the Fraser Valley, BC, and to explore opportunities for community partnerships. The second is a community engagement project to capture and value the lived experiences of refugee/newcomer youth in the Fraser Valley through digital storytelling, together with community-based resettlement organizations and actors. Several divisions of Archway Community Services have been collaborators on these projects.

A report on the 2021 Abbotsford floods, highlighting some of the groups who faced complex challenges, what some of those challenges were, what specific services individuals identified that could have been improved, and what changes and recommendations people who responded to or experienced the flood have suggested in order to strengthen the response to future disasters. Some key populations that were identified as having unique concerns that needed addressing throughout the flood and in recovery include those with language barriers, temporary foreign workers (TWFs), farmers, and the un-sheltered population, among other groups.
