Northern Wetbelt
The Province announced in July that they're thinking about creating a protected area around the Ancient Forest Trail and they're opening it up to public consultation. A few of us thought it might be a good idea to encourage them to designate this park and consider making more in the inland rainforest in the future.
Please lend your name to this letter to Shirley Bond to let her know that this is important to you!
OCT 1: Best & Worst of the Reciprocity Shelf
Yo! Here at CFUR, we're big fans of the Reciprocity Shelf.
This wonderful thing can be found across from the Pride Centre on the third floor of the NUGSS building. If you aren't familiar with the Reciprocity Shelf, here's how it goes: when you have something useful but, for whatever reason, no longer need it - clothing, kitchen things, books, non-perishables, etc - leave it on the Shelf. Another human will be thankful that you did. The beauty of the Reciprocity Shelf is in the name; when you're in need of something, it's a great place go looking.
In case you didn't have time to check out the Shelf this week, here's what you missed:
BEST
A onesie
ATTN cartoon-watchers, onesie-wearers and tall humans: there's an Adventuretime onesie up for grabs at the Shelf! It comes fully-equipped with a hoodie and padded footsies. What more could a cartoon-loving giant ask for?
WORST
Lidless tupperware
Whoever left these sad containers probably didn't understand the concept of tupperware. That shit needs a lid. This is definitely the worst of the Reciprocity Shelf this week.
That's all for now. Hey, check out this new Geoff Berner video:

Lunar Eclipse of the Hart
The second and last total lunar eclipse of 2015 seen from Canada will occur on the night of September 27. Unlike the previous one in April where the west coast and central North America witnessed most of the eclipse, this event will be completely seen from the east. First contact or when the full Harvest Moon begins to slide into the Earth’s shadow occurs at 9:07 p.m. EDT. Mid eclipse will be at 10:47 p.m. EDT with the celestial show ending at 12:37 a.m. EDT. The is also the so-called Super Moon.
A total lunar eclipse is a very safe and awe inspiring event. During mid eclipse the moon turns copper orange as sunlight refracts through Earth’s atmosphere much like a deep red sunset we witness on Earth. This will be the last of four consecutive total lunar eclipses know as a tetrad. The next total eclipse will be on January 21, 2019.

Best and Worst of Reciprocity
Yo! I hope you know what the share shelf is at UNBC, your centre for reciprocity:
It’s on the third floor of the NUGSS building at UNBC. The idea is, you have some USEFUL that you no longer need. Instead of trashing it. Stick it on the shelf so your fellow humans in arms can continue to use it 😉
Here is the BEST of the reciprocity shelf this week. If you’re a dirtbag like me, you’re gonna love this! If you like to make fun of people from a distance, keep reading for the WORST of the reciprocity shelf 😀
Bestie!!
are you balding? or plan on going bald? or predict that rainbow is the new dew for 2015?? then a wig suitcase could be your best bet when passing by the almighty reciprocity....cheeeeck iiit oouut foolksss!
worstie:
dear: mr/mrs. apple drink dink
if you like apples and like them hot in your cup...like most people with a heart (sorry apple haters, no one actually thinks you don't have a heart...it just prefers a less desirable fruit) .... you take the evidence that proved its deliciousness...and dispose of it (in the greenest manner possible of course).....because of you.....the hot apple deliciousness now ends up here..... an over exploited indisposed worstie.
