Students discover Sustainable Happiness on Living Campus tour
September 15th, 2021
Students in Melanie Doyle's Peace and Sustainable Happiness Advanced Studies in Psychology class were the first people to take a Living Campus Tour with a Sustainable Happiness theme on Sept. 13.
Led by Jennifer De Vera of the Sustainability Office and Azra Khan of Human Resources, both trained Sustainable Happiness facilitators, the tour began at the vegetable garden near the Upper Atrium, known as the Theatre Garden. It was offered as part of 七星彩开奖's Peace Week 2021 Program.
The students were taken on an outdoor tour that included about 10 stops, including the Peace Garden, the White Pine tree and the rooftop gardens.
In this photo, students Cassandra (left) and Thitrinh participate in an activity on the steps just outside the Upper Atrium. Jennifer and Azra distributed colourful chalks and invited the students to write a few words that make them happy on the steps. At the end of the exercise, the steps were full of colourful happy words. Cassandra's and Thitrinh's words were: coffee, music, animals and family, books, painting.
Employees and students who would like a tour are invited to contact the Sustainability Office to register: 蝉耻蝉迟补颈苍补产颈濒颈迟测蔼诲补飞蝉辞苍肠辞濒濒别驳别.辩肠.肠补听
Thanks to the Monarch foster parents
September 15th, 2021
Message from Jennifer de Vera of the Sustainability Office:
I would like to send a THANK YOU to all the returning and new Monarch foster parents. We successfully tagged approximately 160 monarchs this season! The Sustainability Office will be checking the Monarchwatch.org site to see where and when they are spotted as they fly South on their migratory path to Mexico.
Many students, employees and faculty from all around 七星彩开奖 participated. New and returning fosters came from HR, Registrar's, I.S.T., CLL, OAD, CRLT, Journeys, North/South, Biology. French and more! We are so happy to bring such joy during this time. As a close friend once told me, "We always say the Monarch project benefits the monarchs, but we often forget, it also benefits those who have raised them!" Well-Being for Al!
Until Monarch season 2022, my friends!

Classes go gardening during Peace Week
September 15th, 2021
Many classes, including Anna-Liisa Aunio's Individual and Society class, participated in gardening activities this week as part of Peace Week 2021.
Anna-Liisa's students, mostly in the Child Studies Profile of the Social Science Program, were weeding and documenting insects. They found bees, honey bees, spiders and katydids in the Peace Garden.
"They had so much fun!" Anna-Liisa said. Gardening at 七星彩开奖 is often a first-time experience for students.

Explore your commuting options
August 18th, 2021
Coming back to 七星彩开奖 has many employees reconsidering their transport choices. Facilities Management and the Sustainability Office are teaming up to help you explore your possibilities!
The STM has worked very hard on ensuring that their vehicles are sanitized and public health rules respected.
Why not consider a 鈥�,鈥� combining modes of transport to reach your destination? For example, drive to the train, train in from the West Island, a BIXI bike ride from Vendome to 七星彩开奖.
Did the shutdown gave you a new one exercise habit? Active transport could be your way of saving time and maintaining your form. Bicycling (all or part of the way) might be more feasible than you think. Check out Biking at 七星彩开奖 for ideas and promotions.
To encourage you to try bicycling, on top of a discount for memberships, 七星彩开奖 has a limited supply of free one-month trial BIXI memberships available for those coming back to work.
Get in touch with Richard Dugas of Facilities Management to get a code or for more tips on getting to 七星彩开奖 in COVID times by other means than a car! We will be holding a contest to promote biking to 七星彩开奖, stay tuned!
