Social Development Lab
Our lab is currently looking for children to help with our research! Our lab
looks at personality and the social world for young children. Our study
involves parents and their children coming into our lab and answering a few questions.
Kids get to play some fun computer games as well! The typical sessions take
around 2 hours and parents are always able to observe their child during the
social interaction tasks. In appreciation of your time, children get a small
gift. To learn more about our lab and what we do, check out our website! Follow
us on Facebook and twitter to keep up to date with our fun!

Cambridge, but Waterloo, Kitchener, Brantford,
and surrounding areas as well. We are not the
Scouts. We are not the Army, Navy or Sea
Cadets. We are the only Youth Drum and Bugle
Corps in the area!
No
experience required and we have a modest membership fee ($20 per year). We

music or perform colour guard, we instruct them how to march, perform and
basically just have fun! Check us

Be a snow
angel! Keeping sidewalks free of ice and snow can be very challenging for older
adults and people with limited mobility. As a snow angel, you can be good
neighbour by clearing snow for those who need assistance. All you have to do is
adopt a sidewalk and keep it clear when it snows. Watch for people in your
neighbourhood who could use help removing snow and lend them a hand. It’s also
a great opportunity for students to complete volunteer hours needed and to
exercise outdoors! Learn more: www.kitchener.ca/snowangels
