About Us
STUDENT RUN
We are an entirely student run service within the Alma Mater Society of Queen’s University, led by 3 full-time student managers, 1 part-time manager, 5 supervisors and a team of 25 staff.
DESIGN
All of our designs are created by the Tricolour team, ensuring our designs are unique and trendy, as the designers are also the customers- students! If you have any ideas for designs or products you would like to see, let us know. We want to hear from you!
TRANSPORTATION
We offer trips to major Canadian cities including Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and on occasion Kitchener, London, Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville and Mississauga. We keep prices low for the benefit of students and only raise our prices by a few dollars to cover additional costs during high volume periods.
CUSTOM ORDERING
We work with different organizations on campus and in the Kingston community to help them create custom goods to be used for conferences, staff appreciation, kept as mementos etc.
SUSTAINABLE
We are proud to say all of our suppliers are Canadian companies. Our coach bus service that transports students to and from major Canadian cities helps us all reduce our carbon footprint. To prevent paper waste, we also donate all expired textbooks to Textbooks for Change. You can check out their website here: https://textbooksforchange.com
USED BOOKS
Our used books service allows books to be reused over and over again while simultaneously giving students the opportunity to save money and make money in the process.
GIVING BACK
Being a part of the Queen's community means we get to see all of the incredible work different clubs and organizations on campus are doing in the Kingston area and beyond. We have partnered with a variety of clubs and organizations on campus over the years either as a sponsor or working to raise funds through in-store sales and events. If you have an idea of how Tricolour could partner with you, please reach out to us tri.marketing@ams.queensu.ca.
