We hope you are all set to attend frosh and your first week of classes. Before you head on over to campus, we would like to invite you to join U of T’s Water Initiative. The City of Toronto is promoting public water, and discouraging the use of plastic bottles on city property.
In light of recent studies on the effects of plastic bottles on your health and the environment, U of T also discourages the use of plastic water bottles. The St. George campus houses drinking fountains and filtered water stations (yes, filtered!). We encourage you to bring a reusable water bottle or canteen to campus, and fill it during the day from these sources. Not sure what type of reusable water bottle to use? The Good Human has a simple little explanation of the Dos and Don’ts of reusable water bottles.
Also, keep an eye out for PWI’s information tables during the school year.

Welcome to February UeaTers!
By now, many of you have received the February postcards in your mail or email…and you may be wondering, where are these events taking place? Without further ado, we would like to announce ABORIGINAL AWARENESS WEEK! Double click on the above image to make it large, or save it to your desktop to zoom in.
At UeaT, on Tuesday, February 9, 2010, you can have an Aboriginal themed meal for $3.00. Locations include MSB Cafeteria, Robarts Cafeteria, Sid’s Cafe, Howard Ferguson Dining Hall, Veda and Sammys. Also, from February 8, 2010 until February 12, 2010, you can participate in one of the many events organized by FIrst Nations House. Please visit their website for details on the events.
We would like to thank the following individuals at First Nations House for helping us understand Aboriginal cultures, art and writing: Mykelle Pacquing (who translated English into syllabics used on this poster), Terry Spanish (who translated English words to Ojibwe words used on this poster), Grafton Antoine (who translated English words to Oneida words used on this poster), Lindy Kinoshameg for letting us borrow the art featured on the top right with the 7 feathers and the CN tower, and Rochelle and Jackie at First Nations House for their help and support.
Stay tuned for details on Chinese New Year!
