                                This semester we're looking forward to all of the great projects we have planned!  <br><br>
                                First of all, preparations for our annual Nature Photo Contest are in full swing! Visit our <a href="photo.htm">Photo Contest Page</a> for more information. <br><br>
				Secondly, our issues focus for the semester will be the proposed ammendments to the Ontario Endagered Species Act.  
				These ammendments include exempting natural resource extraction activities from meeting the requirements of the Endangered Species Act. 
				We will be showing our opposition through petitions and letters to our MPP's and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources<br><br> 
				If you're interested in getting involved, feel free to come out to our meetings, or <a href="mailto:scb@queensu.ca">email us.</a><br><br>
