Through various leadership capacities in SFSS\, SFPIRG\, and SOCA\, Balqees organized against the eviction of marginalized community groups to successfully retain their spaces\, now located in the SUB. She co-led campaigns for other milestone achievements at SFU such as: cluster-hiring of Black and Indigenous faculty\, institutionalizing more equitable Health & Counseling services\, establishing the SFU VP People\, Equity\, & Inclusion office\, and more. Balqees is grateful to have worked with many people at SFU and across Canada on important issues affecting students like affordability\, climate justice\, anti-racism\, etc. In recognition of her national impact\, Balqees was nominated for the YWCA Women of Distinction Award this year and named one of Canada’s Top 100 Black Women to Watch in 2022 (CIBWE). \n \nMagnus Thyvold (he/him)Magnus Thyvold is the Station Manager of SFU’s Campus Community Radio Station CJSF 90.1FM.

After learning about the Rotunda Group’s potential eviction in 2019\, he got involved in the Save Our Spaces campaign and was later elected to the 2020-2021 SFSS Board that granted the Rotunda Groups their SUB space today. WeiChun remains active with Migrant Students United at SFU\, a grassroots group of former and current international students and workers advocating for their fair rights and currently works at Solid State Community Industries as a Coop Developer\, supporting racialized and immigrant people in Surrey building worker cooperatives and enterprises. \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Event Accessibility\nEmbark Sustainability events are free and open to Embark members which includes Simon Fraser University undergraduate and graduate students\, as well as Embark Associate Members.This event will be held indoors in the Embark Studio\, room #1310 of the Student Union Building (SUB)\, SFU Burnaby. The Embark Studio is: \n\nwheelchair accessible\nwelcomes all gender identities and expressions\na tree nut and peanut-free zone\na scent-free zone\nlocated near wheelchair accessible and gender-neutral restrooms\nprovides access to a quiet space for personal meditation\, reflection\, or prayers\n\nWe aim to make our events accessible to as many of our community members as possible.

SUMMARY:Bring on the Buzz! Pollinator Walk n' Talk
DESCRIPTION:You’ve likely heard\, the bees are in trouble. Due to a combination of habitat loss\, disease\, and pesticide use\, many of our pollinators are declining\, which is concerning when one out of three bites you eat is thanks to a bee! The good news is that so-called Canada has more than 800 species of native bees that contribute to pollination of both wild plants and our food supply. How well are these native bees doing? What can be done to support them? Join Dr. Elizabeth Elle for a short talk and a plant and pollinator walk. You’ll learn about the diversity of wild bees in BC\, why there are concerns about bee declines\, and what you can do in your backyard\, community garden\, or even on your balcony to help support pollinators. \n			\n				SECURE YOUR SPOT
