Get Ready to Register: New Sports Programs Coming to the RAWC
UTM’s Department of Recreation, Athletics & Wellness is excited to announce even more opportunities for students to get involved on campus.
While world-renowned arts, science and math programs are synonymous with U of T, an often overlooked element of the university is its commitment to athletics. The Department of Recreation, Athletics & Wellness (DRAW) is dedicated to engaging, educating, and motivating students to lead active, healthy lifestyles. Our mission is to foster communities of belonging through inclusive, accessible, and safe programs and services.
Most of these programs can be found at the Recreation, Athletics & Wellness Centre (RAWC) – the ultimate hub for staying active, healthy, and connected on campus. With a state-of-the-art swimming pool, a wide range of fitness equipment, and versatile sports facilities, the RAWC is designed to support both physical and mental wellness in addition to community building at University of Toronto Mississauga.
For the 2025–2026 school year, the RAWC is leveling up with exciting new ways to stay active and have fun! Try out our brand-new Pilates reformer machines and explore the revamped Strength & Conditioning Centre. Jump into drop-in sports, Learn to Play sessions, or intramural leagues and tournaments, or make a splash with swim classes led by our aquatic team or hang out on a paddle board with friends in the UTM Pool. If the outdoors is more your vibe, join the UTM Moves crew for wellness walks, outdoor adventures, and more opportunities to move your way to wellness. Looking to show your school spirit? You can represent the UTM Eagles in the Tri-Campus Sport League or cheer on your peers as they hit the court or fields this 2025-2026 year. Grab some friends, catch a game, and show your Eagle pride!
DRAW is committed to fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment for all members of our diverse community. Our goal is to provide a space where everyone feels safe, supported, and empowered to move, play, and build community on campus. Through programs such as our new Drop-in Wheelchair Basketball, fitness classes like Rainbow Rhythm & Soul Sweet, 2SLGBTQS+ solidarity swim and special events including Bhangra for Wellness and Elevate UTM, we celebrate diversity, encourage participation, and nurture a strong sense of belonging for all.
Whether you want to break a sweat, learn a new skill, or simply recharge between classes, there’s something here for everyone. Signing up for our programs is more than just exercise — it’s a chance to boost your energy, meet new people, and keep balance in your semester. With so much under one roof, the RAWC makes it easy to stay active, healthy, and connected — all while having fun.
