We are excited to announce our first orientation event, a POW WOW Fitness Bootcamp. This 90-minute class will be held virtually on September 8th and September 10th.

We are excited to collaborate with the Athletics and Recreation Centre for this event. In addition to the workout class, we will be giving out prizes and answering any questions about athletic programming for the upcoming year.

While there is no equipment required for this class, participants are encouraged to find an open space for optimal participation. If this is a concern for you, please reach out to us to inquire about accommodations.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to athletics@sgps.ca or indigenous@sgps.ca.

We are excited to announce the return of Cooking with Grammas, in partnership with the Faith and Spiritual Life group at Queen’s. The Grammas, who are from Queen’s Women’s Association, provide the knowledge and recipes and you will bring the ingredients to learn to cook a meal, all in the comfort of your own kitchen!

This virtual cooking class offers a great way to meet a diversity of Queen’s and Kingston community members, learn some cooking skills, and have a delicious socially distant meal, together!

The recipe for this event will be released 1 week prior to this event. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free variations will be provided. This event is part of a series which will continue on the second Tuesday of each month.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to athletics@sgps.ca .

Feeling creative? Then this skill sharing event is the event for you! Come join us for a combined skill share event which will include both beading and meditation.

We will begin the event by some introduction into beading. We will then get to practice our beading techniques by making a key chain together. Half-way through the session we will take a break from the beading to relax with some folk-music meditation before getting back into beading to finish up our key chain.

For this event we will locally deliver (within Kingston) all the materials needed for the key chain. We only have XX kits so make sure you sign up early. If you are outside of Kingston but still want to join, please contact us and we will provide you with a list of the materials you will need to participate.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to social@sgps.ca.

What better way to meet people than some good old speed-friending?

Come join us to get to know your fellow graduate and professional students better. We will start the afternoon activities with some speed-friending questions which will get you meeting a bunch of fellow students. Then stick around and try out your general knowledge with some trivia. We have some awesome prices up for grabs!

Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control we have had to cancel the outdoor movie night. But fear not, you will not be left without a social event that evening. Come join us at the SGPS for an evening of fun Jack Box games on Zoom.

You can try out your drawing skills in a round of Pictionary or your general knowledge in a round of trivia.

Get to know some fellow graduate and professional students as you battle it out for the ultimate prize of bragging rights. We will also have some nice actual prizes up for grabs.

So come out and enjoy your Saturday with us.
