If you need help with your resume or cover letter, there's a student-focused drop-in service at the Employment Service location on Petawawa Blvd every Monday. The PMFRC is running their monthly mental health walk-in clinic on Wednesday afternoon, and there's a French learning group meeting Monday evening. Dog Walk Day is happening today, though the location is still to be determined.
