New to SFU? Missed clubs day? Finding it hard to make friends? Tired of sitting alone on Friday reading from the Book of Cthulu? Well I’ll bet there’s a club that can take your mind off those ancient maddening thoughts! JOIN THE CLUB is a feature that showcases some of SFU’s lesser known clubs!

This week we highlight . . . The Witness Protection Club

Founded at an undisclosed time sometime between the years 1965 and 2012, the Witness Protection Club is open to any student who is feeling alone or scared, but also threatened by someone they saw commit a heinous crime. So, if you recently witnessed a murder or an armed robbery and think the perpetrator might have gotten a good look at you, don’t delay in joining this club!

Unfortunately, despite being one of SFU’s most popular clubs for students facing extreme danger, there isn’t a lot of public information about the Witness Protection Club. For some reason they aren’t listed among SFSS clubs and never publicly release their meeting times or locations.

Anyways, if you’re interested in joining them or just checking them out, they get together every Monday from 12:30–2:30 in AQ5047 under the guise of an upper level English course in “Early Shakespeare.” I know because my friend Todd Simpson is a member; he was one of the witnesses in the case of the Burnaby Mangler. So if you want to say “hi” to him, he’ll definitely be there at that time and location. Just ask for John Smith. Have fun!

In their statement, the groups called for the provincial government to increase funding for programs serving BC sex workers.  The push comes amid a crisis in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, where centres serving unhoused women, those who face gender-based violence, and support for substance use are closing. In July, the PACE Society, a drop-in centre in the area, permanently closed down. In February, the WISH Drop-In Centre closed temporarily. Most recently, The Tyee reported that the Kingsway Community Station, Vancouver’s last drop-in centre for sex workers, was on the brink of...
