A Period that Moves: A Conversation about Movement, Sport, and the Menstrual Cycle

In this online presentation, Melissa Zettel (she/her) will encourage and promote conversation around sport and periods. Athletes who menstruate have always been present, but the conversation around periods has not. She will talk about the myths attached to performance and menstruation, current literature around sport and menstruation, performance and the different phases of the menstrual cycle, potential issues athletes may encounter around menstruation, and how to have supportive conversations with athletes about their cycles.

As part of the Water Institute's WaterTalks lecture series, Soumya Balasubramanya, Senior Economist at The World Bank, Washington, DC, will present "Recent trends in groundwater use in South Asia: The role of technology and water-energy-food-poverty nexus tradeoffs."

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

September 30th marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

On this day we honour the lost children and Survivors of residential schools, their families and communities. Widespread public commemoration and acknowledgement of the tragic and painful history, continued impact, and intergenerational trauma of Canada's residential school legacy is a vital component of the reconciliation process. The University of Waterloo and the Office of Indigenous Relations continue to amplify that truth as we build towards reconciliation. We will also highlight the beauty and resilience of indigeneity, and the strengthening of bonds with allies as we navigate this complex and meaningful day.
