Frosh 2010 OC Application

Based on the San Francisco Food Bank’s “Hunger Challenge”, the $5 Food Challenge aims to raise awareness about food insecurity in BC.  Participants can take the challenge of spending only $5 a day on food each day for a week (or $35 for the week), and post daily blogs on www.5dollarsaday.ca to share their experience about what it’s like to live on a limited food budget. We hope that participants will consider donating to the SFU food bank the amount of cash they save spending only $35 on food for the week.

This awareness campaign is ran by Jan Hilario, one of the members of inov8.ca. Inov8.ca is one of the research groups at SFU Business.

Happy Fall 2009!

Great start of a G-Reaaat year! FROSH kicked it off, and is amazing. Now that school’s back – so is your newsletter! Even better, we have enough copies of The Buzz’s Frosh Issue. They’re out on the stands now! (Still located outside Timmy H’s and in the Biz Lounge stands). A fun edition — it is movie themed! Also, the Buzz has decided to release monthly issues mid-month! (unlike what used to be end of the month).

So grab your copy and read up!
