The City of Langford has partnered with the new John Horgan Campus of Royal Roads University to launch a Campus Perks program.
Campus Perks offers exclusive discounts at Langford businesses for students, faculty, and staff.
Discounts are available at local gyms, cafés, restaurants, shops, printing services, online services, and more.
Online directory:
Designed to enhance wellness, support, and community connection, the John Horgan Campus Perks program features an online directory of participating businesses.
Participating businesses offer special deals to the campus community of students, faculty, and staff.
Businesses receive a window decal (or digital decal for online businesses) to showcase their involvement.
Campus members can redeem offers by presenting their campus ID.
Affordability for the campus community:
“The John Horgan Campus Perks program makes life more affordable for students, faculty, and staff while strengthening the connection between our local businesses and the campus community,” said Langford Myor Scott Goodmanson.
Collaboration with the broader community:
“By working together, we’re building a vibrant community that supports education, wellness, and economic growth,” says Mayor Goodmanson.
“Royal Roads welcomes this exciting opportunity to engage with the local business community in Langford,” said Philip Steenkamp, President and Vice-Chancellor of Royal Roads University.
“This program will provide tangible benefits to our students, while strengthening the local economy,” says Steenkamp.
Integrating with downtown:
The Campus Perks program was developed by City of Langford staff after Royal Roads University approached the municipality to explore ways to enhance campus life.
The campus was intentionally designed to integrate with Langford’s vibrant downtown, which offers options for recreation, food and beverage, and services for students.
Aligned with Council’s 2023-2027 Strategic Plan to actively support the evolution of the downtown post-secondary campus, the John Horgan Campus Perks program connects campus members with the local business community.
Businesses interested in joining the program may do so by completing a simple application form online at Langford.ca/Campus.
