https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/genereux-park-eco-questWe can set up a zoom, skype, or facetime meeting to get you started, or we can meet you out there (with facemasks and social distancing), and let you know how you can help out. These greenspaces located inside the south west area of Saskatoon need an ecological assessment and any person with any skill level can help! You just use your phone to take pictures on iNaturalist! Easy peasy! It is a great way to learn about nature! A great home-schooling project! What will you find? It is like a Where's Waldo Treasure Hunt, but it is finding plants, and animals of any size, shape, and color! You are invited to come to the park as many times as you are able, different times of the day, different seasons, it would be wonderful to find out what other volunteers discover! We will also help you learn how to be eligible for prizes!

Dog Runner and/or Walker needed for an energetic 18-mo-old puppy. I am a 73-year-old woman who is unable to walk or run this energetic puppy. If you are a dog lover and a runner, this puppy can run faster than any human, but will keep to your pace. So if you need an exercise buddy, this puppy and I would be most grateful. I am requesting a volunteer, please. The poor little guy is so bored and just wants to run and play. He is a very friendly, lovable dog. See photo below. I live in Lawson Heights on Lenore Dr near Marion Graham Collegiate.

While isolated from others, many people are using smartphones to keep in touch and engage with others. With the use of a special app, we can begin to understand how people are saying socially connected through calling, messaging, and app usage. Understanding healthy social behaviour during the pandemic can help minimize the negative consequences of social distancing. We are looking for people to join our study!

Study Title: How do you feel about Covid-19?
Eligibility Requirements: Seeking individuals who are 17 years or older who can read and write well in English to partake in a two-part study.
Study description: The objective of this two-phase study is to examine the relationship between personality characteristics and life circumstances on coping responses to the 2019 Coronavirus (Covid-19). For phase 1, participants will complete an online questionnaire. The online questionnaire will ask questions about participants’ current life circumstances (e.g., employment status and type, how they are currently affected by Covid-19), their mental health status (e.g., anxiety, depression), how they cope with negative life events or challenges, and how they feel about the future. The second phase of the study will consist of completing daily online expressive writing activities for fourteen consecutives days. Participants will be asked to reflect on things that occurred earlier that day, while following guides to help them reflect on these events. The second phase of the study will also consist of completing three follow-up online questionnaires (2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months after completing the writing program). Enrollment in phase 2 of the study requires the completion of the online questionnaire for phase 1. If participants are interested in enrolling in phase 2, they will have the opportunity to provide us with their email address to commence phase 2. This study has received ethical approval by the ethics board at the University of Ottawa.
Duration: The first phase of the study will take approximately 30-45 minutes to complete. For the second phase of the study, each writing entry will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete with the exception of the first session, which will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. Each follow-up survey will take approximately 30-40 minutes to complete.
Benefits: The opportunity to engage in self-reflection and learn techniques that could help process and cope with challenges caused by Covid-19.
Compensation: The opportunity to win one of four 50$ money orders. Each writing session completed will correspond to the number of chances you will have to win one of four money prizes in a draw.
Contact: If participants have any questions about our research, they are encouraged to contact the research assistant (Kheana Barbeau, kbarb006@uottawa.ca).
