Canada Matters

It's been a very busy summer here at Canadian Studies. Not only have we thoroughly renovated the Canadian Studies website (still under construction for another week or so) and launched our new blog, we've also transformed one of the rooms in our office to create a new student lounge and meeting space.

Not only is the TransCanada Lounge a comfortable space for quiet studying or group meetings, we also have a coffee maker, water cooler, satellite radio playing CBC Radio or Radio-Canada, and cable tv for watching CBC, CTV, or one of the many Canadian films we have in our library. This space is open to faculty, Canadian Studies majors and minors, and any students currently in any of our Canadian Studies courses. Canadian students, staff, and faculty are also always welcome. This space will be open weekdays from 9 to 3.

None of this would have been possible without the hard work of Tom McGrath and Zenda Farrell who both helped transform this from a good idea into a great reality. The new website and our upcoming series of podcasts (more on that in the next month or so) is the work of our inspired intern, Will Webb.

Come by the lounge and see it for yourself! We look forward to seeing you there soon.
