Sleep Easy With Our Optional Dedicated Overnight Watch Guard Service

Night watch personnel will report unruly behaviour, excessive noise and inappropriate movement of participants, emergencies, or illness to the client’s supervising personnel for appropriate action.

Our clients are responsible for ensuring that all minor participants are always accompanied by an adult (18 years of age and older) at a minor/adult ratio of 10:1.

Overnight security requirements must be coordinated with the University of Ottawa. No external security companies are allowed on campus.

The rate includes overnight security services from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. The schedule is fixed and cannot be changed. The security ambassador will conduct a tour of the rooms assigned to your group. If you wish to have one on each floor that your group occupies, please notify your coordinator.

Duties of the security ambassador are:

1. That participants remain in their rooms after the assigned time (excepting issues of personal safety or illness).
2. That persons outside the group are not allowed to enter the participant’s rooms
3. That noise levels inside participants rooms are at an acceptable level to the residence and its guests.

It is not the responsibility of night watch personnel to supervise, discipline or control the participants. These duties are the responsibility of the client’s supervising personnel. 



Nightly rate per guard: $257.28 + tax (extra costs on public holidays).
