Does an MURA count as 'Research Funding History' for the Canadian Common CV?

Or should it be under recognitions? (For CGS-M NSERC)

Thanks!

I lost a keychain! :[

I lost this ame-chan keychain presumably around November 24th to November 29th... I'm suspecting I lost it somewhere around the bridgeport plaza, but I'm also thinking i could have lost it around the king street north area (around that crepe shop). I can't buy another one sadly, and it's my favourite keychain so I'm really hoping i could reunite with it. Please let me know if you came across it! I'm willing to provide compensation for anyone who could return it as well

Stat 231 Michael Wallace Videos

Hi

Taking 231 online right now. Wondering if anyone has the link to his Stat 231 videos. Could really use them for studying as reading the course notes PDF is so dry. TYSM.

Looking for a good make-up artist for styling

Hi! I'm looking for recommendations for a make-up artist in the area who can do my make-up and possibly style my hair for the day. I'd like someone who is open to using my own make-up products as well. I was considering Sephora at Conestoga, but unfortunately, they can't use products provided by customers. Any suggestions?

Petition to Stop Cuts to GRT!

As outlined in a fantastic post by u/ronacse359, the Region of Waterloo is currently proposing a bunch of service reductions to GRT, a lot of them which affect us as students!

These include:

- The cancellation of Route 35 Greenbrook

Reduced frequency on Route 9 Lakeshore and Route 30 Ring Road from every 20 minutes to every 30 minutes

Reduced frequency on Route 55 Grand Ridge from every 30 minutes to every 60 minutes

Removing 50 per cent of trips on Route 26 Trillium

Summer service reductions beginning one week earlier

Removing garbage cans at bus stops

(more info about the reductions an be found here)

As with our "Stop the ION cuts" and "Night Bus" campaigns, we need your support to ensure that our GRT UPass is worth what we pay for!! We've done it twice, now let's go for the three-peat!!!

SO HERE IS WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP!!!:

  1. Sign and share our petition!

This takes just a few seconds, and was a BIG reason why our first two campaigns were so successful!

  1. Submit the GRT feedback survey!

This, again, takes very little time, and will help show GRT directly that we DO NOT want these changes to go through!

  1. Come out to delegate in person!

There is a public meeting happening on December 3rd at 5:30pm at the Regional Administration Building in Downtown Kitchener! Delegating to council is a great way to be involved in our local community, and want a really strong student voice at this meeting!! If you have any questions about delegating, please feel free to reach out to us on our discord (link below)

LOST PANDORA CHARM BRACELET

Last night on Nov 29th, I lost my Pandora bracelet which is super sentimental to me with so many memories attached to it (birthdays, milestones, charms from loved ones and ones that represent/remind me of my mom before she passed). It’s a silver bracelet with a heart clause. There’s 5 charms on there;

  • a purple breaded heart dangle charm
  • a kitten and yarn ball charm
  • a padlock and key dangle charm
  • a letter “K” charm
  • a cherry blossom dangle charm

I was at Prohibition Warehouse when I was wearing it. I was also walking down the strip of King Street afterwards when heading home. It truly breaks my heart that I have misplaced it. It is one of the most important things I have. If anyone finds it or knows where it can possibly be, please if you can reach out.
