PSA about the #CUSA elections!

They are happening today and tomorrow. You can vote in Rez (across from Oasis, tunnel level Rez - near the mailboxes) or various locations across campus.

You pay fees to CUSA every year, but less than 12% of students vote. Make sure to vote either today or tomorrow. :)

Ottawa Good Food Box! Order from RRRA!

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 14:05:35 -0500

Ottawa Good Food Box! Order from RRRA!:

We’ve brought the Good Food Box Back to Res!

The Ottawa Good Food Box is a community run, bulk purchasing of fresh fruits and vegetables! normally run through the CUSA Food Centre, we’ve worked to bring it home to students living in residence.

What does this mean? If you’re strapped for cash or just sick of the caf’s meagre selection of fresh produce then pick up a Good Food Box! Since it’s a not-for profit bulk purchasing service, this is the best value for veggies you can find, and it’s delivered right to campus!

You can buy a $5 fruit bag for snacking, or a $10, $15, or $20 box filled with fresh fruits and vegetables each month.
http://www.ottawagoodfoodbox.ca/?page_id=43&lang=en

The orders are due by February 6th for the delivery on February 15th so get them in now!

(Free!!) Relay 4 Life event: Saturday Jan 28th:

Come join us for a day of free fun in the snow!!! We have a list of different fun activities you can all take part in! Come as a team or come alone and just join the fun! We will also be selling hot chocolate to warm you guys up!
Schedule of Events:

12pm (noon): start off with a nice easy warm up skate to help shake off any possible toxins and sin from the night before. And by warm up… We mean the 100m dash. Winner gets bragging rights!!

1pm: Now that our legs are all warmed up from a nice cordial skate, it’s time to flash those skills with a hockey skills competition. Show up your tightest puck handling, sharp shooting prowess, and best trick shot in this show that isn’t to be missed! All skill levels encouraged!!

For those of you who don’t like hockey, don’t own a stick, or just don’t feel like participating or watching the skills competition, there will be a snow soccer game taking place on the soccer field on the inside of the speed skating rink!

2pm: It’s time for some ODR (Outdoor Rink) hockey. Bring teams of 3 or 4 and battle it out to prove just how Canadian you really are. This is a tourny and the first 8 teams to register will get to play. Registration will begin at the beginning of the skills competition at the rinks. Games will be 10 minutes each with a 2 minute sudden death tie breaker. If after the 2 minutes there is still a tie, there will be a 100m dash challenge to determine the winner.

3pm: Time to rest up for a little bit and let the kid inside you shine through! We will be having a snowman competition followed by a snow angel contest! prizes go out to the best dressed and biggest snowman! Also, get out your halo’s and wings and make us the best snow angel you can! Bring your own props!

4pm: It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for. It’s the grande finale of the day. The only time where it is socially acceptable to beat the hell out of one another. It’s a snowball fight ladies and gentlemen. Bring your best throwing arm and stake out a fort. Teams are encouraged but it is a free for all event. Game on!

What better way to end a fun filled winter day…head over to Pier 21 to party it up with your favorite Relay for Life Committee!!! We can warm you up after a day in the snow!
