On November 7, the Public Health Officer of BC announced a new public health order to limit social interactions. Notably, no social gatherings of any size are allowed with anyone other than your immediate household. For residents in shared apartments, your roommates and housemates are considered your immediate household.
Following the order, GEC will temporarily suspend our housekeeping service from November 9 to 22. Housekeeping will resume November 23 unless the order is extended.
GEC and West Trek Social Club will be hosting an online yoga session to help calm your nerves this upcoming finals season. The session will include basic poses and meditation—all you need is a small space and a screen to tune in. This session’s instructor is Ide, certified yoga coach and tour guide at West Trek.
