Courtesy Umbrellas

Many of you may have seen the recent addition of 'courtesy umbrellas' in the lobby of the Student Union Building.

This is a joint initiative between the Dalhousie Student Union and the Real Life Community Church. There is a basket of courtesy umbrellas by the front doors of the SUB and other locations across campus a well. On days when it is raining outside the Dalhousie community can use the umbrellas to get from one building to another without getting wet. When they get to where they are going they can just place the umbrella in the basket at that location.

This is a small initiative but I have only heard positive feedback about this project and am happy to be able to work with outside groups to make the university experience more positive even if it is through small things such as umbrellas.
