Join the Club: Gout on Campus, Burnaby Mountain Toastmakers, Free Tibet Club

JOIN THE CLUB is a feature that highlights SFU’s lesser known clubs and non-existent organizations.

This week we highlight. . .

Gout on Campus

Gout on Campus is a group of students, faculty, alumni and allies working together to reduce discrimination and increase awareness about gout, podagra and other inflammatory arthritic diseases. The organization is committed to ensuring that students with gout are free to be open about their blood’s high uric acid levels and hope to provide a safe environment where they can be proud about their inflated big toes.

Burnaby Mountain Toastmakers

At Burnaby Mountain Toastmakers, students can learn how to communicate, improve their public speaking skills, make friends — but mostly they just learn how to make a really good piece of toast. Toaster settings, browning techniques . . . the Burnaby Mountain Toastmakers is a club dedicated to the perfection of the most boring part of breakfast.

Free Tibet Club

The Free Tibet Club is SFU’s home for Tibetan rights and campaigns related to recognition of Tibet as a sovereign, self-determining nation. 

The SFSS does not currently recognize this club. If you have any inquiries take it up with the Chinese Debate Society.
