  Radium Girls - February 27 & 28 and March 1 Tickets on Sale Tonight!

  In 1926, radium was a miracle cure, Madame Curie an international celebrity, and luminous watches the latest rage—until the girls who painted them began to fall ill with a mysterious disease. Inspired by a true story, Radium Girls traces the efforts of Grace Fryer, a dial painter, as she fights for her day in court. Her chief adversary is her former employer, Arthur Roeder, an idealistic man who cannot bring himself to believe that the same element that shrinks tumours could have anything to do with the terrifying rash of illnesses among his employees. As the case goes on, however, Grace finds herself battling not just with the U.S. Radium Corporation, but with her own family and friends, who fear that her campaign for justice will backfire.

  The Holidays are a Perfect Opportunity to Collect Soda Pop Tabs!

  With the holiday season quickly approaching, it's the perfect time to come together and make a difference. As celebrations bring more opportunities for tasty treats and festive beverages, there will be more pop-can tabs and food-can tabs to collect than ever!

   

  If you remember, Social Justice members began collecting tabs from students on Terry Fox Day. We expanded the campaign from there and encouraged individuals to continue collecting tabs at home and bringing them into the office. If you look the next time you are in the office, you will see a container with an impressive number of tabs from those efforts. With holidays approaching, we want to remind everyone of this soda pop tab initiative and challenge you to bring in even more. Let’s fill that container!
