What?

Tim Horton's donuts shop located in new Wellness Centre at University of Lethbridge.

 

 

 

I have to walk through the new Wellness Center at the University of Lethbridge each day to reach my office, while construction of the new Education tower is itself completed -- we currently only have access through the rear door while they finish the front entrance and atrium.

So my question is this: Who puts a Tim Horton's outlet in a Wellness Center? We just spent x millions of dollars to build a facility with the province's biggest climbing wall, an indoor track, weight rooms, gyms, and a ton of exercise equipment, and then put a donut shop next to the exit so people using the facility can grab a few calories on the way out?

What am I missing here?

Fire on UofL grounds

Fire as seen from my wife's office window

This one is from my wife's cell phone, taken about a month back when there was a fire on the grounds next to my wife's office. About the time she snapped this photo it occured to her that the fire was also moving towards the parking lot, and ours was one of the half dozen cars in the stalls right by the front doors. She ran out and moved the car; we came back later and found the the burn line had come within about 20 feet of where we park.

But no harm done in the end, partly because one of the campus security staff stood between the fire and the building with a fire extinguisher. Not sure that holding off a grass fire that way is exactly my idea of a safe job.
