The Math & Writing Centre is pleased to announce our summer Pi Day event.

Join us at either location (North Campus, LRC 3rd Floor or Lakeshore Campus, F201) on Tuesday, July 22 at 2 p.m. as we celebrate Pi Approximation Day (22 divided by 7 gives a number that approximates PI).

We will be giving out free Moon Pies (aka Wagon Wheels) to students (while supplies last).

We will also have fun activities, including:

• Create Origami Pi Symbols
• Stack Origami Pi Symbols
• Find your birthday inside PI

Please let students know about this exciting event and share the attached poster.

Join Humber’s Office of Sustainability on Thursday, July 17 from 1 to 3 p.m. in the Humber Arboretum for a hands-on afternoon dedicated to protecting native ecosystems. During this workshop, you'll help remove invasive plant species such as phragmites, thistles, teasel, burdock, and garlic mustard. While contributing to the health of the Arboretum’s natural spaces, you’ll also gain insight into how invasive species affect biodiversity and what we can do to restore balance.

This is a great opportunity for students to earn Co-Curricular Record (CCR) credit while building practical skills in environmental restoration and stewardship. It is also a great team-building opportunity for staff and faculty. Come dressed for the outdoors (long pants, and comfortable shoes), and don’t forget to bring a water bottle, sun protection, and gardening gloves if you have them. Let’s work together to make a positive impact on our local environment!

Register for the workshop

We hope to see you there!

She is the winner of the Orange Prize, the Guardian Fiction Prize, the Commonwealth Poetry Prize, the Trillium Book Award and a Guggenheim Fellowship, and has been shortlisted for the Governor General's Literary Award, the Griffin Poetry Prize and twice for the Giller Prize. She has also been twice longlisted for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. Her novel Fugitive Pieces was made into a feature film.
