MMF Bison Local

Hello friends! I am helping out at the newly available MMF’s COVID-19 vaccine clinics, and have been asked to put out some feelers to see if there is anyone wh...o would be interested in volunteering their time to help run the clinics. The clinics will be running on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at the office on 150 Henry. The tasks that you could possibly be involved with would be signing people in, directing them where to go, sanitization, observation during wait time, giving people their stickers and snacks, etc. This is a great opportunity for those who are thinking about a career in health care and are looking for experience in a clinical setting, or for those who have time on their hands and wish to help out with fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. If you are interested or want to know more, feel free to pm me! (P.S. they are looking into the funding possibilities available to make these paid positions!)

Congratulations to Alexandra Philippot a Metis student in the Faculty of Law.
