Welcome to the RLPA

We are a society of post-secondary housing professionals who believe that living within residence can enhance the educational experience. Residences are much more than convenient places to live! Taking advantage of the opportunities and diversity within them allows for richer learning, enhanced development and memories that will last for a lifetime.

The RLPA was formed in order to promote the following things: Provide the venue to share information on our Residence Life operations, Collectively address provincial Residence Life issues, offer skill development for all members in order to continually improve our Residence Life operations.
