MIT Canadians ClubHome
Welcome to the MIT Canadians Club website. This new site is just being commissioned to replace the eyesore that preceded it. The club is expanding and becoming more active every semester. We are always looking for event ideas, join the mailing list and suggest an idea.
Poutine Night
The event will be hosted at the Thirsty Ear. We will supply the poutine and some other goodies, you show up and enjoy the food with friends. Then we can brainstorm the next Canadian Club events.
Event: Poutine night
When: Wednesday, 2011 December 14, 7:30pm-8:30pm
Where: Thirsty Ear Pub
What: Poutine and good friends
Canadian Hockey Night in Boston
The event will be hosted at the Thirsty Ear. We will watch the defending Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins take on the Winnipeg Jets. At this point I want to point out that Boston had more Canadians on their roster than the Vancouver Canucks when the former put on a clinic and embarrassed the latter in the Stanley Cup finals.

When: Tuesday December 6, 8:30 pm
Where: Thirsty Ear Pub
What: Dinner and hockey with Canadians
2011 College Curling National Champions!
Congratulations to MIT Canadians Club members Jeffrey Mo, Phil Nadeau, and David Tax for representing MIT and winning the 2011 Division I National College Curling Championship. Congratulations also go to Ben Peters who is not Canadian, but WI is pretty close.
Canada Day BBQ
It's just about that time of the year again as Canada will celebrate it's 144th birthday this Friday. As the Canadian club at MIT, we must fulfill our civic duty and grill. Therefore we hope you'll be able to join us on Friday to celebrate and enjoy some burgers, hot dogs and chicken and other bbq favourites. Word is also that the Canadian cookie challenge may make a return. Here are the details:
Event: Canada Day BBQ
What: Grilled food and Canadian patriotism
Where: Sidney Pacific Courtyard
When: Friday, July 1st (Canada Day of course) @ 6 pm
Hope to see you then,
Dave, Michelle, and Kevin
Stanley Cup Finals
Whether you're rooting for the Boston Bruins or the Vancouver Canucks you're invited to Game 6 at the Thirsty Ear Pub in Ashdown House. It is officially acceptable to cheer for either team. Boston may not be a Canadian city, but there are more Canadian teams on its roster. The game starts at 8pm on Monday, 13 June 2011.
Canadian Culture Night
The event will be a dinner, with food from Meridian Food Market. We will be holding the dinner in the 4th floor kitchen in Sidney Pacific. This will be one of our Canadian Heritage nights where we highlight a different aspect of Canadian culture, with this one centering around the inukshuk. Feel free to bring any inukshuks or artwork you may have lying around.
Event: Canadian Heritage Dinner
When: Tuesday June 14, 7 pm
Where: Sidney Pacific, 4th floor kitchen
What: Dinner with Canadians, Inukshuks
Canadian Elections
As you know, Canadian federal elections have been called for May 2 (see CBC/Le Devoir). Canadian citizens over the age of 18 and who have lived outside of Canada for less than 5 consecutive years are eligible to vote by special ballot (by mail).
If you received a special ballot voting kit during the last elections (Oct 2008), you should be on the list to automatically receive one again this time. You should still confirm by calling Elections Canada at 1-866-222-2565 (toll-free from Canada & US).
Otherwise you can click here to begin your application to receive a special ballot voting kit - this generates a form you then print and mail. You can find more details here on voting by Canadian electors living abroad.
Hope this helps!
