Hello outdoorsy people!

This year, things are going to be different around campus. In the past, our club has filled the vital role of bringing students together to enjoy nature. While we won't be able to run trips this semester, we still want to provide the space for you to meet an adventure buddy, to share pictures of your outings, and to interact with other like-minded students.

If you're interested in this, join our 2020/21 facebook group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/uvicodc2020
Here's some of the planned activities:
- Regular partner-searching threads for members to comment on and find hiking partners to go on physically distanced outings.
- Lists with photos of our favourite places to go locally and up-island.
- Educational videos, such as "What to bring on a 1-2 night camping trip", "How to plan a trip safely", "Cool places to go", and more.
- Photo competitions, with themes like: "Best wildlife shot", "I can see my house from here!", "Formal summit-wear".
- Social events over Zoom where we chat about the stuff we've been up to lately

We want to continue to be advocates for the outdoors, and us executives think this is the best path forward to do that. Let's all get out there and enjoy this beautiful place we call home!

Thanks so much to everyone who came out for the ODC Jam at the Pub! The night was a huge success. Ella & Friends started us out with some mellow tunes to get the night started, Alwyn and the Houseplants jazzed things up with a trombone, Saltwater Soul kicked it up an octave with some slapping rock to dance to, and Nelson Forest capped the night off with soul so thick it dripped off the stage like molasses. We also raised some $$ for Ancient Forest Alliance!
