Thinking of Signing a New Lease?

A lease is a very important legal document that is a contract between you and your landlord. Before you sign a lease bring a copy into the MAC office and have the commissioner go over it with you. While the commissioner is not a lawyer and so cannot provide legal advice, she can let you know if some clauses are invalid or let you know some questions you should discuss with your landlord.

Winter Parking

 

Roads free of parked cars make snowplowing safer and more efficient. That’s why the City has a bylaw prohibiting you from parking on the street overnight in winter (from Dec. 1 until the end of March). If you park on the street overnight you could face a $40 fine – or maybe even end up getting your vehicle towed. If it snows, the snowplows go – and the City just never knows when that’s going to happen, so it passed the winter parking bylaw to make sure their fleet is good to go on any winter night when most of the plowing is done.

Do you wish that you had the opportunity to get help in one or more subjects with which you had difficulty in highschool?

One of the major goals of this committee is to develop a link between local high school students and the Queen’s community, through the management of an extremely successful tutoring program. In recent years, they have been able to provide service to over 100 high school students! This committee also runs seminars in local highschools in conjunction with the Highschool Liaison Committee on important issues like university preparation and how to succeed in school.

This is a great way to share and impart the academic skills at which you excel, develop a relationship with local highschool students and make a difference in the academic careers of younger students. HYPE also presents a great way to volunteer in a setting that fits in with your schedule.

Volunteer as a tutor, committee member, or in one of the other activities offered by this committee!
