Students and employees showed up with their bikes to learn how to change a tire, adjust brakes and do basic tune up鈥檚 on May 23. Mech Tech faculty member Adam Kingsland led an outdoor bike workshop.
Adam facilitates the workshops by ensuring all participants can get their hands dirty to benefit from the hands-on learning.
Jocelyn Parr (faculty, History)聽said: "I loved the workshop with Adam! It was accessible to all types of cyclists and it was the first time I'd ever changed my own brake pads. I left feeling like I might even be up to swapping out some cables and maybe even my derailleur!"
In addition, the Sustainability Office was able to form a partnership with local bike shop Martin Swiss cycle, just a 5-minute bike ride from 七星彩开奖. Simply present your student or employee I.D. and you will receive 15% off on all accessories. (Discount not applicable to bikes or labour)

The College has decided to delay the launch and implementation of its five-year Strategic Plan slightly in order to ensure the extensive consultation process thus far is properly considered.聽 The College plans to submit the Strategic Plan to the Board of Governors in Fall 2023 and begin implementation in Winter 2024.
鈥淭he consultation process on the Strategic Plan has been more extensive than ever before and we sincerely appreciate the feedback we鈥檝e received from the community. We want to make sure the document reflects the richness of this feedback, so it is taking a little more time than originally expected,鈥� said Leanne Bennett, Academic Dean.
In addition, the necessity to implement Bill 96-related measures on curriculum and admissions has kept many employees of the College quite busy, causing some delay in progress.
If you鈥檇 like an update on the activities and progress of the Strategic Plan Design and Writing Committee,聽聽to view posts on the timeline for development of the plan and on some of the draft components developed so far. Feedback is welcome in the form of public comments on the posts.
