Clubs

Association Des Futures Agronomes Du Quebec

AFAQ is an association made up of motivated students that are interested in agriculture and in the practice of agronomy in Quebec. It promotes the profession of agronomist (“agronome”) among Mac students and it creates the link between the students, the “Ordre des Agronomes du Québec (OAQ)” and McGill University. This will be done through various funny activities such as one-day internship “Agronome d’un jour”, movie nights, contests with prizes, guest speakers and more! AFAQ is also responsible for the sale of the “Mémento”, the official book for the OAQ admission exam. All the activities are done to keep students informed about agriculture in Quebec.

Mac Arts & Crafts Club

The arts and crafts club plans to meet once or twice a month. During these sessions, members can use the materials provided to create any form of art they like. Some of the sessions will also be themed meetings. During these themed meetings, executives and/or members will lead 30-minute ‘workshops’ or activities for other students who are interested in participating in the themes. These will make new mediums more accessible to members, introduce them to mediums they might not have considered before, and allow members to express their creativity. Between sessions, members can “check out” materials from the inventory, on the condition that they are returned to the next meeting (this applies to items such as knitting needles or paint brushes, not canvas, paper, or yarn). If damaged or lost, the offending member will receive a warning to be more careful with club inventory. If this offense is repeated, the member will be prohibited from borrowing club inventory.

Mac Book Club

The Mac Book Club is a place where passionate readers gather to discuss fiction and non-fiction books. Whether you like romance, fantasy, thrillers, science-fiction, philosophy or even poetry, this club is here to fulfill all your bookworm needs. We usually read one book per month and participation is on a voluntary basis: no commitment whatsoever. Grab your list of to-be-read books and come enjoy some cookies and tea with us!

Mac Campus Bike Club

Repair. Recycle. Repeat. The Mac Campus Bike club seeks to offer bike repair services to the Mac community. We also have a bike recycling program whereby we recycle bikes through the Mac Campus community. Students arrive and get a bike, on the condition that when they leave Mac Campus they return the bike to be further recycled through the community. We offer repair lessons and equip students with the skills necessary for bike maintenance and repair.

In particular, we maintain strong collaborations with our partner institutions: the University of Edinburgh, Ross University, and St. Matthew’s University. In addition, we host hands-on events such as suture clinics and professional development workshops to further support students in preparing for careers in veterinary medicine.
