Events - 2018

Stretch your wings with a Move Your Mind (MYM) coordinator from Waterloo Athletics. Taking a break from studying for a few minutes of activity can have physical, mental, emotional and academic benefits. Drop by the first floor of the Dana Porter Library (downstairs) for even 5 minutes during the session.

Eat like a bird by customizing your own trail mix with a variety of goose-themed treats. While you're there, get crafty and design your own goose button...all on the first floor of Dana Porter Library (downstairs)!

Need a giggle? Take a gander at a selection of goose comics - from past issues of The Imprint and more - on display all week in the lobbies of Dana Porter and Davis Centre libraries. While you're there, take a minute to draw your own goose-themed comic and spread the laughs!

...like 'Shark Week,' but more intense.
