Hi HUB residents,
Winter is here, you'll find that Edmonton
weather is as predictable as the winner of a lottery, please watch the
forecast often and wear appropriate clothes to keep yourselves warm. We
don't like to see you sick!
Happy new year! This year it's HUB's new year resolution to bring
you great programs and a number of new initiatives. There are new
mirrors installed in stairwell 8902, so when you enter that stairwell,
you can see if there is anyone above or below you on the stairs. This
is a pilot period for a new security feature in HUB. Please let us know
if the mirrors are useful, and if so, more will be installed in other
stairwells. As always, the issue of security of HUB residence remains
high on our priorities. We are holding meetings with the
representatives from the University Protective Services, and the
Ancillary Services.
The HUB Sustainability Committee has put forward proposals for new
recycling services in HUB. We wish to bring you a greener and an
environmentally friendly place to live and work. More updates to follow
on that.
From the HUB survey, HUB residents wanted another block party. You ask,
we listen! There will be a rather interesting costume party coming up
February 4. We will put up posters for it soon!

Hello HUB residents! In case you haven't been told, HUB now has a full-time "police officer". Actually the correct name is the University of Alberta Protective Services Community Liaison Officer. Her name is Tracey Giroux, and she is stationed at the south end of HUB, right beside stairwell 8902. She is here to create a safe community for us, and deal with any safety issues that we may have. She may also be going around HUB Mall and knocking on doors of HUB residents, so please don't be afraid to answer your door. You can find more information about her from the HUB Insider newsletter: http://www.hublife.ca/newsletter/2011-12.pdfThere have been a few incidents in The Vault, but rest assured, the HLT will make sure that we serve your best interest. We are in the process of obtaining new pool cues, ping pong paddles, and air hockey pucks. We are also creating a new policy for equipment usage in The Vault, which will come into effect in January. Good luck on your upcoming exams, and I hope you have a great winter holiday! Richard Zhao HCA President |

Hello everyone! I hope your classes are going well. It's certainly been busy for me. I'd like to bring you some updates on the things the HCA has been working on, besides bringing you the many events throughout the year. As some of you are aware, in the recent past a few HUB stairwells were vandalized with derogatory comments. The HCA is taking this issue very seriously. We have had meetings with Residence Services, the Residence Halls Association, and raised this issue to relevant authorities, including Campus Protective Services. Rest assumed, we are working as hard as we can to help providing a safe and friendly environment for you to live in. If you've been using the Vault, you may have noticed a security screen newly installed in the common area, as well as a suggestion box near the door. This is just one example of the security initiatives we have taken. Feel free to drop us a note in the suggestion box if you have any concerns. Thank you and have a great November!
