Hello friends! Some cool things have been going down in my neck of the woods. We’ve finalized the date for TalEng! It’s going to be on July 7th now, and it’ll be held at the Bomber here on campus! They have their summer appetizer and drink menus out so it’ll be a grand ol’ time! The planning for Semi-Formal is also going well! We’ve confirmed that we’ll be running it in conjunction with MathSoc, and that it’ll be at Turret nightclub on Laurier campus on July 18, so get excited for that as well!
Some neat events that are coming up in the next couple weeks are Coffee House on Wednesday June 11th (the day this paper comes out!) following the EngSoc meeting, and a Bollywood Dance workshop on Thursday June 12 in POETS. After that we arrive at hell week, but on Tuesday there will be a de-stress yoga session and puppies to pet! Hell Week will end with the Middle of Term party in POETS, and the week after that on Tuesday the 24th there’s likely going to be an EngSoc Hockey game!
Now as alluded to in my last article, World Pride is coming up fast! We’ve ordered some sweet shirts and patches, as well as a loads of other swag for people who come on the trip. Oh, and TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW! Swing by the Engineering Society office (CPH 1327) to sign up! It’s $15 for undergrads and $20 for alumni/faculty/staff, and it gets you a bus ride to and from Toronto, a lunch before the parade, a sweet tie-dyed shirt (you can tie-dye it yourself if you come to our tie-dying workshop on Thursday June 26th), a sweet patch, a standard-issue rainbow flag, some colourful beads and a noisemaker, as well as enough water to keep you hydrated all day while marching! Needless to say it’s going to be an unreal experience for anyone going, this year it’s not just the ‘Toronto Pride Parade’, it’s World Pride, and this is the first time that it’s being held in North America ever! People are making the trip from all over the globe to be a part of this weeklong celebration, and it’s going to be ridiculous!
That’s all I’ll say about it for now, in the next IW I’ll give a rundown of the day itself and all the craziness that will surely ensue. Have fun getting ready for midterms and such, good luck!
