With students back for another year, and one large destructive party already in the books, local paramedics and hospitals are preparing for a potential increase in emergency room visits.
Wilfrid Laurier University said the school's Special Constable Service is working with police to increase security presence around campus after hundreds of students took part in a large, unsanctioned gathering over the weekend.
Waterloo Mayor Dave Jaworsky said he is hoping to get those involved in a destructive party back “on the right track” after a trail of destruction was left along Ezra Avenue.
