CUSID congratulates John Whelan of Memorial University of Newfoundland to his appointment as the Ombudsperson for the Atlantic Region of CUSID. John fills the vacancy left in the Atlantic region.

Due to the effects of Hurricane Juan in Halifax, and the resulting closures including Dalhousie University, the CUSID Atlantic Novice Championships will be postponed until further notice.
According to Dan Sameoto of Sodales, “Dalhousie is closed completely until Monday or until the power comes back on, which ever is later. The Sodales executive apologizes for this, but there isn’t anything we can do. The tournament is still planned and will occur as early as possible. When we have more information on Dalhousie’s opening, we will provide an update.”
