As you have hopefully noticed, paper bags advertising the Guelph Community Food Drive have been circulating around campus. I wanted to provide you with a friendly reminder that we will be collecting donations until the afternoon of Monday, June 16th. All donations we collect will directly go to help stock the Student FoodBank on campus. Donations can be dropped off at the donation bin inside the UC, at the FoodBank, or we can even arrange to pick them up. Attached is a flyer advertising the Food Drive and outlining suggested items for donation.

The Society for Ecological Restoration of Ontario (SERO) is pleased to offer three field trip opportunities in 2014 for members and non-members. These events will enable registrants to view innovative, new and established ecological restoration projects in Ontario. This is a great opportunity for instructors, students and restoration professionals to experience and learn from successful projects in the field.

We are honoured to invite you to avail Speaker/Delegate Opportunity at the 3^rd International Conference on Earth Science & Climate Change (Earth Science-2014) during July 28-30, 2014 San Francisco, USA. We would look forward to your participation in this international event, if at all possible. 

We are seeking candidates for a post‐doctoral fellowship with research focus on improving nitrogen management tools for reduced environmental losses from corn production. Research activities will involve validation and testing of the PNM model using an extensive data set on nitrous oxide emissions and nitrate leaching from corn. The validated models will be used to assess greenhouse gas emission intensity of Ontario’s corn sector and to evaluate the provincewide impact of 4R mitigation practices on environmental N losses.
