Come join us at the Grad House for free food and great company! Word on the street is that there will be ice cream sundaes as well. Who doesn't want a cool treat on a hot summers day?
Join us for a panel discussion aimed at exploring Indigenous perspectives on water issues. The panelists are Terrylynn Brant, Vanessa Gray, and Rachel Thevenard. Amy Smoke will be moderating the discussion and there will be an opportunity to ask questions.
The panel is a collaborative initiative between the Aboriginal Education Centre and SWIGS. The Aboriginal Education Centre is located at St. Paul's University College, Room 232.
There will be coffee, tea and treats. We hope to see you there!

We have some bad news! Our planned workshop for November on Python is cancelled/postponed due to our facilitator being unable to lead the workshop. However there is potential for an R or GIS workshop, or other topic if someone jumped in last minute to run one. Know something about programming or GIS? Have that lab mate who you always go to for computer questions? Link them to us and we may yet be able to run a workshop in November!
Hey everyone, this is the first call for the much anticipated AskProfs edition for field work stories! This will be open to a mix of profs and graduate students, since there are a huge amount of field stories out there and we don't want to miss them.
Leave us your best/worst/scariest/funniest field work stories and perhaps a lesson for the next generation of field students.
Hello everyone, due to a sudden upswing in interest for the workshop far past what the room we booked can hold, we have to cap our participation to about 30 people. I have emailed everyone who was signed up on our signup sheet to confirm whether they are in the first 30 signups for the workshop. If you believe you signed up but did not receive an email of any kind, please email me, uw.swigs@gmail.com.
The rare Charitable Research Reserve is a 900+ acre urban land trust and environmental institute situated at the confluence of the Grand and Speed Rivers. The reserve is a beautiful and culturally significant landscape rich in biodiversity and important riparian habitat. We strive to preserve the land for future generations by focusing on conservation, research and education.
Our friendly neighbours at the School of Architecture are hosting an exhibition on water resources. SWIGS will be making a presence there and are inviting all of our members to visit and build some BRIDGES with our architecture friends (yes you will likely hear that joke a lot).
