The Canadian Water Network (CWN), Student and Young Professional (SYP) Committee, representing Kitchener and Waterloo, and SWIGS from University of Waterloo are excited to announce our end of year Blue Drinks event! This will be hosted in Kitchener at McCabe's Bar and Grill on King Street.

Two of our executives, Allison and Logan, met with the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation today! We are pleased to let you know about some the events and efforts being undertaken by the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation in the next month and beyond.

Earthstock, Saturday November 5th (2pm to 6pm)

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!

Call for field work stories!

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.
