Children’s Rights — Proposed Academic Theme for 2009/10
On Nov 20, 2009, the world will celebrate the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
A small group of faculty members are proposing that UCFV adopt Children’s Rights as the academic theme of the year for 2009/10. It’s an opportunity for departments and schools to explore together what they can do to engage their students, and perhaps the broader community, in creative learning and research activities that could lead to an event (or events) around Nov 20, 2009.
You are invited to a planning meeting on Wed, Jan 9, from 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm in Abby F125 (University House). Please RSVP to deborah.block@ucfv.ca.
Thank you for your participation. For more information see www.ucfv.ca/research.

Tai Chi classes
Tai Chi is an ancient art that is practiced very slowly and gently which enables people of all ages to enjoy its vast health benefits. It is a very complex and sophisticated form of self-defence that helps one to become calm and composed. The benefits of tai chi include enhanced strength, flexibility, decreased bone loss, increased alertness, quicker reflexes, improved balance, improved memory, circulation, ability to relax, and overall health.
Tom McAleese will teach these lessons. Tom has been studying the traditional Yang style of Tai Chi Chuan under Master-Sifu Howard Ketola since 1994.

Pilates is a system of movement and exercise that was developed in the 1920s by Joseph Pilates. The goal of the system is to strengthen and stretch the muscles while integrating the mind and body.
Pilates promotes physical harmony and balance for people of all ages and physical conditions. Benefits of Pilates include longer, leaner and stronger muscles, improved posture and alignment, more energy, a stronger, toned mid-section, improved flexibility and coordination, opening of joints (less pain and tension), and increased body awareness.
Classes are progressive so there are no drop-ins. Please bring a towel or a yoga or Pilates mat to class.

Beginners: 12 pm to 1 pm
