ANNUAL SURVEY RESULTS

The HUB Annual Survey has been completed! The results are on the link below.
http://www.hublife.ca/Annual%20Survey%20FULL%20Report.pdf

Some highlights:

- The demographics of HUB remain similar to past years. Residents of all backgrounds live here for convenience. They prefer free food and other practical events / services. The most popular events include subsidized food
events like the Sunday Sundae, Block Party and BBQ. Other popular events include IKEA Trips, Bottle Depot and
Grocery Bus events. Trips have a moderate average score but larger number of residents choose them as a Very
Desirable

- Demographics: About a third of residents have lived in HUB less than a year.

- Residents are divided about the degree of security they feel in HUB, but most residents lock their doors (91%
when not at home, 70% when at home).

There were also 8 lucky winners of a $25 gift card from a random draw:

HLT 2013-2014
Time to welcome the new HLT team of the 2013-2014 academic term! The HLT composes of 6 elected HCA executive members, who will be serving you from May 2013 to April 2014. As well, there will be 6 RAs (Resident
Assistants) who will be serving you in the summer and possibly in the academic term!
Do you want to meet these interesting people? Yes you do! Each executive member is in charge of running
events and services in HUB, such as me, your VP Communications, in writing this newsletter and making those
lovely posters. Then there are the RAs who are in charge of a zone and are there for you whenever you need
assistance.

HUB RA On-Call: [780-619-6244; 4pm to 8am on weekdays; 24 hours on weekends & holidays]

SUMMER PROGRAMMING
Hooray for summer!! While you should be relaxing and enjoying that time off from school (assuming you are
not taking any school...), you should also be partaking in some of HCAs summer programming! We have
already had a very successful Banff Trip, where residents woke up at the early hours of 5:00 (or they were
too excited and didnt even sleep) and rode a bus to visit the small town of Banff, Alberta.
All events are in the Vault unless otherwise stated. Details are on this page.
For any questions contact ami@hublife.ca

7 PM | The Vault | Bi-Weekly | Starting June 1st

What do you usually do every other Saturday night?

Studying? No! Take a break, come down to the Vault
and partake in our Movie Nights! There is always free
food and drinks as long as you bring your own utensils, and enjoy great quality films on a great HDTV
purchased just for you. The first movie shown was
Inception, with more great titles to come, by request
or decided by the HLT Team! See you there, HUB
residents!

Did you know that we dont allow pets? Yes you do

know because you probably dont have one in your
unit. Stop stressing over the fact that you cant have
a pet, and come down to Pet Therapy! Animals are
brought in from various places, ranging from larger
dogs to small, soft kitties. For a few hours in your life
you can pretend that the cute animal you are petting
is yours and stop thinking about those other cumbersome things in your life, such as exams or whatever
other stress there is.

SUMMER PROGRAMMING

Recycling
Program
various dates all su mmer

Why are you screaming? Because of ice cream? FREE ice cream? Bought by your lovely HLT friends?
Hmm weird thats never been a thing. Just kidding, it has and its the most consistent event in HUB, (besides our fire alarms). Come down to the Vault to claim this free ice cream because by now it should be
assumed that its where everything nice takes place. It happens on Sundays at 7PM, and runs for half an
hour so come an hour early and then stay an hour extra talking to your fellow residents.

CAMPING in

BUSINESS QUAD
August 16-17th

One overnight trip to the Business Quad, where you

do all the uncomfortable camping activities close to
your home. Starting at 5PM and ending at 10AM the
next day, youll wish this trip was a weekly occurance.
Too bad it isnt, so youll have to make the most out of
these few hours. Thank us for giving you the wonderful idea of camping out in random places!
