Dear Community Member,

Due to sustainability efforts to go paperless, the use of the Drop Box (at 680 Sherbrooke outside of room 724) has significantly decreased in the past few years, and effective November 5, 2024 will be removed.

We encourage you to use internal Mailing Services when directing cheques to Financial Services as they provide a safe and secure option, but you may give advance notice to the Fund Administrator if you wish.

Berry-flavoured vapes can weaken the lungs’ natural defences, making it harder for the body to fight off infections, new research suggests.

The study compared effects of flavoured e-cigarettes to those of unflavoured ones.

While previous research has shown that all forms of vaping can be harmful, the scholars said this study adds to a mounting body of evidence demonstrating how added flavourings to vaping solutions can exacerbate the dangers.
