More exciting happenings are on the horizon! NUGSS Annual
General Meeting will be held soon, a by-election for three
vacant positions on our board will be held soon as well!
There exist many opportunities to contribute meaningfully
to the UNBC community. Ask yourself what you can do!

Ge day! I hope that the new semester has been kind to
you so far! It’s sure been a busy time at the Northern
Undergraduate Student Society.

Despite the inclement weather, Backyard Barbecue

was a success in a number of ways, crowds were large,
returns were strong, and many had a great time. I hope
it was a positive experience for you and yours.

There is a very important talk about the future of our
institution that’s currently taking place. The academic
planning process includes rethinking of the University’s
vision and mission. Participation of students from diverse

The annual Northern Students Give Back event was a backgrounds is not only important, but integral.

tremendous success! We had strong support and buy in from
many different Campus Clubs! The current board remains
committed to making this event less of an obligation and
more of a club owned effort, all the while fostering the great
community benefits that extend from such a day. This is quite
a challenge, and will require incremental positive change,

but this year was a great step in that direction. I want to
extend the biggest thank you I can to all that took part and
participated and mention one last time of the worthwhile
charity done for the Terry Fox Foundation. Thank you.

Many exciting events rest on our horizon as well.
Meaningful work is being done to see the board’s strategic
plan to a successful execution. If you have questions
about that work or any other matter, don’t hesitate to
stop by the NUGSS office and ask for any of the directors!
Share your ideas, criticisms and compliments.

Remember the services that exist for you! I wish
you a healthy, productive and safe fall season.

ave you ever wanted to see Russell Peters, Joe Rogan,
Greg Giraldo, Patrice O’Neal, Maria Bamford, and
Louis C.K. all on the same stage in one night?

Here’s your chance (almost). The Thirsty Moose Pub is
to host comedy nights featuring local comedians once
again on the last Tuesday of the month. The first show
is on Tuesday Sept 29th, 8pm, $5 cover at the door.

But on Tuesday October 27th, the Moose has a special
Halloween show in store for you. The local comedians

of Prince George are dressing up for Halloween. In this
special show, the comics are dressing up as their favourite
comedians, dead or alive, and acting out their jokes.

Scheduled to appear are Russell Peters (“Somebody
Gonna Get Hurt Real Bad”), Patrice O’Neal (The
Office), Greg Giraldo (Comedy Central roasts), Maria
Bamford (The Comedians of Comedy), Joe Rogan (UFC
commentator and Fear Factor guy) and closing the
show is Louis C.K. (Louie). Last year’s show was a
howling success. It was frightening how good it was.

‘Zombie Comedy’ starts at 8pm on Tuesday October

27th, and is only $5 at the door. For more info, visit the
Facebook event page “Zombie Comedy.” The final comedy
show of the semester is on Tuesday November 24th, 8pm.
