Sexton Survey
Win $100 of Market money... that's like 7 bags of organic coffee! Or 33 baklava! Or 100 korean dumplings!
Sexton students can answer the survey here.
If you already answered the survey and gave us your e-mail, you'll be entered in the draw. Send it your Sexton friends and make them buy you 8 tubs of Deedee's ice cream if they win!

Special General Meeting
Tuesday April 27th at 6:30 PM ADT on Zoom
All community members (which includes all volunteers and all Dal and King's students) are invited to attend our Special General Meeting on April 27th.
We need at least 10 general members plus our board to be there to have the number of people required to make votes! Please come if you can <3
Pre-registration is not required, but we will send you a reminder e-mail if you do! (Plus it makes us panic less about reaching quorum). Pre-register here.
What we're going to do:
Fun End of Year Stuff!
- Slide-show and review of the highlights of the year. What we did really well on!
- Feedback results from our Sexton Survey!
- A door prize including a Maple Sage Hope Blooms dressing, an organic double cocoa Feral Chocolate bar, and a cookbook - you choose between "Eating Wild in Eastern Canada" or "Kitchen Without Borders"
- A Loaded-Ladle themed dance for you to learn during intermission
Technical End of Year Stuff! (May or may not be fun!)
- Goal setting for next year, areas to improve, esp in terms of Anti-O, but also in terms of our values!
- Vote to change the constitution and the by-laws to allow board member honoraria (pending DSU approval)
- Vote to change the fiscal year-end to August in both our Constitution and our Co-op Bylaws.
- Vote to add "signing the register of members" as part of the required actions to be considered a member of the Loaded Ladle (pending review)
Why is it an SGM and not an AGM?
Our AGM is moving from the Spring to the Fall - we'll have our AGM, including elections for our board, on September 21st, 2021.

Sweet Affirmations
From Planned Parenthood Toronto and Teen Health Source
When I show myself compassion, I resist all the ways I have been taught to judge and police myself.
My relationships do not have to look the way I have been taught relationships should look.
I am allowed to be complicated and appreciated in my complexity.
Doing things 'just for you' is a great reason to do things.
