NEWS
Friday is the official opening Mystic Market, UVic’s new campus food outlet. Not only will it be serving up healthy and locally-sourced food choices with a distinctive west coast ambiance, it also promises to be our campus’s first “zero-waste” facility. As much as possible, all food waste and other waste from the food prep areas and of the customer trays will be recycled or composted. Check out the photo and story in Saanich News.
Lots of interesting on campus and off campus volunteer opportunities coming up:
A new University of Victoria-led radioactivity monitoring network is looking for volunteer “citizen scientists” along the BC coast to collect water samples and share science-based information on ocean health within their communities.

Urgent: Harper could pass Canada-China FIPA deal TODAY
- Details

This deal would allow China’s massive companies to sue Canadian governments in secret tribunals if we make decisions that put Canadian interests ahead of their corporate profits – restricting Canadians from making democratic decisions about our economy, environment and energy.[2]
It gets worse: If Prime Minister Harper approves this international investors’ deal it could bind us for 31 years.
As you may know, the Hupacasath First Nation are using their constitutionally protected legal rights to challenge this deal in court. The court case is still in progress, and the court has not yet released its decision on the Hupacasath’s appeal. If Harper ratifies FIPA it would show total disrespect for Canada's courts and the the judicial process.
We know that many Conservative MPs are deeply uncomfortable with the secretive and extreme Canada-China investor deal,[3] and we need to turn up the pressure right now and demand they stop Harper from ratifying this terrible deal.
Can you join our emergency phone-call action today to turn up the pressure to stop FIPA? Here’s how to make your call…
