3M Campus Recycling Project

The College has recently approved a program to collect and recycle used 3M polyester transparency materials. Yellow bins with posters describing their function have been created for placement in all academic offices and some administrative offices for this purpose. In addition to collection of used transparencies, used Expo brand dry-erase markers will also be collected using the same bins. This material will be collected, to be forwarded to the appropriate recycling partners on a regular basis. Thanks in advance for participating in this initiative!

Local Alzheimer Society launches intergenerational program with First Nations

An innovative program developed by the Alzheimer Society London and Middlesex is now being launched with First Nations seniors and students in London and area. The Generation LinkTM program pairs high school, college or university students with seniors, and together they create a scrapbook or 'memorybook' of the senior's photographs and mementos. At the end of the 12-week program, each memorybook is presented to an audience of family members and loved ones.

First Nations students interested in participating can contact the Alzheimer's Society's volunteer coordinator, Ellen Cannon, at volunteercoordinator@alzheimerlondon.ca.
