Did you know?? Herbs are super easy to grow and are packed full of nutrients! Herbs can easily be grown indoors all year long, and add a burst of flavour and nutrition to any meal. Join Student Health and Wellness and Indigenous Initiatives in the Wiigwasitig Gitigaan 'Birch Tree Garden' to test out your green thumb and try planting some herbs, then take them home and help them grow. We will also have some delicious recipes available to give you some ideas of how you can use your herbs at home (think savoury sauces, refreshing beverages, and gourmet snacks).

Burnout can happen when you face academic (and other!) stress over an extended period of time. Now that we’re two months into the semester, it’s common for students to start experiencing some of the effects of burnout like lack of motivation and interest, difficulty focusing, physical health issues, lack of creativity, and decreased academic performance.
Your Peer Wellness Team wants to help you prevent and manage burnout so you can finish off the semester strong! Drop by Simcoe Hall and Visit the Peer Wellness Team to learn what burnout is, some strategies for managing burnout, and grab a Burnout Buster Baggy for some take-home self-care.
It can often be a challenge to take a minute to ourselves, so why not make self-care a habit and Take10.
