Any sunlight you see is just Mother Nature playing with your weak, human feelings before she ruins your outdoor birthday party with a thunderstorm.
The typical Thunderbird doesn’t fly to Hastings-Sunrise very often. In the northeast corner of Vancouver, it’s as far from campus as you can get (without stepping on SFU turf). Luckily “as far as you can get” in Vancouver is about an-hour bus ride, and while Hastings-Sunrise is primarily residential, this relaxed corner of town is well worth the visit.
Next month, the AMS will be launching the Rent With Rights campaign, an advocacy and awareness initiative aiming to improve housing rights for UBC renters.
But while UBC’s urban planning team is excited about the prospect of more public art on campus, the Shadow’s rollout has been stymied by negative student responses — many of them rooted in the misconception that the piece’s $365,000 cost will be derived from their own tuition funds.

You get the sense that John Mulaney does these shows as much for himself as he does it for us. At his November 10 show at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, the 35-year old Chicago comedian whittled whimsical rants into comedic odysseys and he wore his best suit for it too.
On the surface, Buckland’s work is almost austerely minimalist. From the entrance of the gallery, the exhibit looks like little more than a few fake flowers and small shreds of fabric mounted on plain, white walls. A few steps deeper and Cut Flowers Are Already Dead suddenly has a lot going on.
Students living in Walter Gage tower are complaining about an ongoing landscaping project at the base of the tower — especially the smell.
As the installation of the Shadow begins in front of the Nest, students have suddenly found themselves face-to-face with public art — either as observers or sometimes literally, as they detour around the construction zone.
The BC government has now made naloxone kits available for free at pharmacies across the province, following $2 million in additional annual funding to its “Take Home Naloxone” program and a partnership with London Drugs.
