Hello UCalgary,
Thank you so much to all those who voted in the SU By-Election last week. I’ve got just a few more quick reminders for this month.

Fall Food Drive continues until Oct. 31
October is Food Security Awareness Month, and we are holding our annual Fall Food Drive. You can make a donation in person or a monetary donation on our GoFundMe page. Your support helps us provide healthy food options for campus community members in need.
We are also hosting a food-related Wellness Wednesday event called Food for Thought. This will be an interactive presentation Wednesday, Oct. 25 in That Empty Space that will offer tips and tricks for navigating grocery shopping and basic food safety tips that every student should know. RSVP at https://forms.gle/PLX9gFB6LV7pANGTA
The C of Red is coming to the Den: Oct. 26

You can watch the game at the Den, or if you have tickets to the game, you can hop on a C of Red bus to head down to the Saddledome. The fun starts at 4:30 p.m. – see you there!

SU Quality Money and Sustainability Fund Deadlines: Nov. 24
Finally, SU Quality Money is a program that funds projects and programming that improve campus life. In the past, we’ve funded brilliant ideas like scholarships and bursaries, study space renovations, and free period products in Mac Hall. This year, we have combined the deadline with the SU Sustainability Fund. If you’ve got a big idea, apply for a one of these grants and make it a reality. The deadline is November 24. Need some inspiration? Check out the hundreds of projects we’ve funded already.
I’ll be back with another email soon, and in the meantime, the best way to stay up to date is to follow the SU on social media, @SUUofC.
Your Students’ Union President,
Shaziah Jinnah Morsette
