Ten Years Since Seattle: Reflections on the Anti-Capitalist Movement [français ci-dessous]
Monday, November 30th, 6:30pm McGill University, Leacock Building, Room 232 855 Sherbrooke W, (Metro McGill) Speakers Include: -> Indu Vashist, coordinator with QPIRG McGill, attended the WTO demonstrations in Seattle. -> Jaggi Singh, founding member of the Anti-Capitalist Convergence (CLAC) and member of No One Is Illegal Montreal. -> Ben Atkinson, an organizer from Seattle. A further note about wheelchair access Dear QPIRG space users -- We wrote last week to mention that the QPIRG space was no longer wheelchair accessible, due to a blockage of the ramp in front of our space.
We wanted to update the situation: the ramp in front of our space is now accessible, but only if you access it by entering via the back alley. The back alley is accessible on Mackay street (the west side) just south of Maisonneuve. Clearly, due to construction, the situation can change. We encourage space users who want to know detailed info about access to the space to get in touch and we can give you the most detailed info we have at the time. But, as of today (November 16) the ramp in front of our building is accessible if you enter through the back alley. In solidarity, -- The QPIRG staff. QPIRG Concordia is hiring THREE people to replace its office flooring / Le GRIP Concordia embauche TROIS personnes pour refaire les planchers de ses locaux La date limite pour postuler est vendredi le 27 novembre 2009, 17 h.
Deadline for applications is Friday, November 27th, 2009 at 5pm How to Convert your Class Paper into a Conference Paper: STUDY IN ACTION 2010 presents: How to Convert your Class Paper into a Conference Paper: Tips on Presenting at Academic Conferences. Tuesday, November 10th, 2009, 4pm @ QPIRG Concordia (1500 de Maisonneuve ouest, #204 – above Café Depot) Please e-mail studyinaction@gmail.com to confirm you can attend. Notice to space users: No longer wheelchair accessible / Closed for renovations We wanted to let everyone who uses the QPIRG space know that due to the extensive construction outside our building, QPIRG Concordia is no longer wheelchair accessible. The ramp at the front of our building is blocked, and until construction finishes, our space is inaccessible to wheelchairs. There are about six stairs to get to the first set of doors. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused, and might cause.
We also wanted to remind you that the QPIRG space will be closed for renovations (as well as holidays) for most of December. The last day QPIRG will be open is Thursday, December 3, 2009. We will re-open on Monday, January 4, 2010. The reason for the shut down is that we’re finally getting rid of our ugly carpet and putting in some new flooring. This process will take up to 2 weeks of work for renovations between December 7 to 18, 2009. Members of working groups and solidarity groups that rely on space access outside of office hours should get in touch with the Working Groups coordinator (workinggroups@qpirgconcordia.org) to discuss any special arrangements your group might need to make during the period of renovations when the office will be completely closed. We might also require that materials stored at QPIRG be stored elsewhere during this period. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience. -- The QPIRG Concordia Board and Staff. |
