Campbell Lectureship in Law on Wednesday, October 12, at 1:30 p.m., in Memorial Hall, Confederation Centre of the Arts.

Campbell, Rhodes Scholar, former premier of Prince Edward Island, and first chancellor of the University of Prince Edward Island. The lecture is free, but seating is limited.

UPEI’s Robertson Library is hosting a new book event series this fall called “Open Pages,” which will feature local authors speaking about their books: what inspired them, what they learned, what they shared. The public is warmly invited to this free series, which takes place in the second-floor lounge of UPEI library on one Wednesday evening of each month, over this fall. Light refreshments will be served, and books will be available for sale and signing. The first event in “Open Pages” is happening Wednesday, October 12, 7 pm, and will feature the new book, Time and a Place: An Environmental History of PEI, published by Island Studies Press at UPEI. Time and a Place is the first environmental history of Prince Edward Island, and the first such history of any Canadian province. It features 12 essays, and explores how the Island has evolved from the Ice Age to the Information Age. One of the book’s strengths is the diversity among its expert authors. They discuss agriculture, fisheries and forestry with some topics in common, including climate change, and they discuss how people have affected the Island’s fields, forests, and waters, and in turn – how nature has affected Islanders. Several of the book’s contributors plus two of its editors, Ed MacDonald and marine biologist Irene Novaczek, will talk about Time and a Place, and encourage discussion on its content. For more information on the Open Pages series, contact Joan Sinclair at Island Studies Press, ispstaff@upei.ca, or Simon Lloyd at UPEI, slloyd@upei.ca. For more detail on the book Time and a Place, see “Recent Titles” at upei.ca/isp.

Last year, UPEI and PEI Health and Wellness combined to offer a hot bowl of soup in a safe environment - healthy food for mental health.  This year, gardens are adding physical health to our plan. To increase sustainability, we invited the campus to donate bowls and spoons. We received 75 bowls and 15 spoons, and installed soap and sanitizer at the Chaplaincy Centre to decrease our footprint. As cottages close, we are hoping for more spoons and bowls.  Donations can be left at the Chaplaincy Centre. Our first event will be Wednesday October 19, 11:30 am - 1:00 pm.  Drop by with a bowl for a soul! Sister Sue
