If you live in Huron-Sussex and have had a recent conflict experience with eastern grey squirrels, you may be eligible to participate in a doctoral study on eastern grey squirrels! Please note that eastern grey squirrels have a few colour variations: black, grey, brindle or even white (although rare in Huron-Sussex).
Tracy Timmins is a doctoral candidate at the Faculty of Environmental Studies, York University, investigating Torontonians’ encounters with eastern grey squirrels with the aims of supporting coexistence and identifying strategies to prevent, mitigate, or resolve conflicts effectively.
Tracy would like to interview people who have had conflict with squirrels about their experiences. Interviews will be approximately 45 minutes to one hour. Participants will receive a $10 Starbucks gift card.
If you are interested in participating in this study, or would like more information, please contact Tracy at squirrelresearch@gmail.com.

You are invited to a presentation and discussion of the proposed Innis College Addition & Renovation project, located on the north side of Sussex Ave, at the corner of St. George Street.
Background The University is planning an addition and renovation of Innis College at the St. George campus. The design proposes a sensitive infill strategy for the expansion situated behind the existing west wing of the College, and selective exterior and interior renovations that will preserve the qualities of the original College building, including the Victorian house component. The project will provide an array of new study areas; a student learning centre, including the college library, student services, and writing centre; an expanded multipurpose cafe open to the public; new classroom spaces and academic offices; and will also greatly improve the accessibility of the building. All are welcome to the presentation and discussion to learn more about the project and provide feedback.
