This Goose Week, show us what Waterloo goose meme to you by designing your own meme!

Use one of the Creative Commons images below to give us goosebumps or make us giggle with your best goose meme, then share your (g-rated) meme with us and win!

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!

Share your photos with @uwlibrary on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter! We can't wait to see your photos...we'll be green with envy at your creativity.
