Savings on goods and services

Some businesses offer savings on good and services to University employees. Since the University does not maintain a list of those businesses, you may ask them if they offer discounts. In some cases, they may ask you to show an ID such as your employee card.

Examples:

• The Campus Store offers a 10% discount to employees on certain clothing apparel and some books. Present your employee card! They also organize during the year special events just for employees.
• The University of Ottawa Alumni Association has partnered with several companies to offer services at discounted group rates.
• The Canadian Association of University Business Officers, to which the University is a member, offers member discounts. The CAUBO has negotiated national contracts in the following categories:
  • Car rentals
  • Hotels
  • Moving and relocation services
  • VIA Rail
• Some unions offer discounts to their members; ask your union if it is the case.
