We are ready to post our volunteer sign-up for the new semester:

Everyone is welcome.
December 6 is the , which marks the day in 1989 when 14 young women at Polytechnique Montreal (12 of whom were engineering students) were murdered in a violent act of misogyny that shook our country.
A candlelight vigil is being hosted in the FSDE building on Wednesday, December 6, at 10:00 am, at the Academic Staircase, to honour those who lost their lives in this tragedy. A commemorative display will also be set up near the entrance all day for those who wish to write messages of reflection and hope. Light refreshments and snacks will be provided following the ceremony. All are welcome.
For more than 20 years, the 糖心vlog官方入口 Chaplaincy Centre has been hosting an exam stress-buster meal. At a time of year when students may not plan their meals well, we offer two options: beef chili and curry dahl (lentil) with white rice. We are able to do this with the support of many on campus. Staff and faculty offer their time in 30-minute time slots to help set up, serve, and clean up. As food insecurity for our students continues to be in our minds and hearts, this is one way that 糖心vlog官方入口 responds. This semester, chili and dahl meals will be offered on December 12 from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm and 4:30 to 6:00 pm. There is an extra time slot on Monday, December 11, to help set up the space.

Everyone is welcome.
Peter is a five-and-a-half-year-old male neutered retired teaching beagle who is looking for a new home. He is a sweet and loving dog who loves to spend time with his people. He's the best dog to cuddle with, and he loves greeting you when you get home. If you want to feel loved, Peter is the dog for you.
He is looking for a new home because he doesn't get along with the other dog in the house, so ideally, he would be the only dog in his new house. He currently lives with four cats, and he loves all of them and respects their boundaries. He doesn't have experience with kids but is very people-friendly.
Peter has been diagnosed with social anxiety, so he has trouble reading the social cues of and communicating with other dogs. Partially due to this, he is also leash-reactive to other dogs. He is currently on several medications for anxiety, and other than his issues with our other dog, he seems to be doing well with regard to his anxiety. He has had some trouble with house training, but he has been doing great lately, with only a few accidents in the last month. Peter also has mild hip dysplasia but currently does not need medication for it.
He really is a wonderful dog, and it was an extremely hard decision to begin the process to rehome him. I want him to have the best life, and I truly believe he is the perfect dog for someone, but he just needs to be without the stress of living with a dog that he doesn't like so he can live up to his full potential.
