Do you have any electronic appliances, kitchenware, clothing, or jewelry in need of repair?

In honour of Earth Day, we invite you to join us for our annual campus clean-up! We will provide you with bags, gloves, and litter pickers. There are a number of litter "hot spots" on and around main campus that we'll tackle in smaller groups.
