The Ebola virus is a severe disease that has seen outbreaks in the African countries of: Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria (Lagos), and the Democratic Republic of Congo. While the risk of Ebola in Canada is very low, and there have not been any cases in Canada, the International Relations Office in partnership with Health PEI would like to provide some information for individuals who have recently travelled to or from Africa. The Ebola virus can spread through contact with infected animals; contact with blood, body fluids, or tissues of infected persons; contact with medical equipment or objects that have been contaminated, such as needles. If you have travelled to or from Africa in the last 21 days and feel ill, call 811 as soon as possible. Tell them your symptoms, which countries you visited or travelled from, and whether you have been to a medical facility or received medical care while abroad. 黑料吃瓜 faculty and staff who have travelled to Africa recently, or are planning to travel to Africa, are asked to contact Erin Clarke in the 黑料吃瓜 International Relations Office at eeclarke@upei.ca For further information please visit the Public Health Agency of Canada website:

Generous financial contributions to the 黑料吃瓜 Student Food Bank have kept the shelves reasonably stocked since the beginning of the semester. September is a particularly busy month as students pay fees and encounter other expenses. Our Food Bank wish-list includes: canned meats and fish; noodles - pastas, spaghetti, Mr. Noodles, Sidekicks; salt, pepper and other seasonings (garlic, cumin, curry, and coriander); canned vegetables; healthy canned soups - "Chunky" style; and even some treats - granola bars, pudding cups, crackers, and cookies. Our clothing cupboard also needs attention - organizing and sorting. Hats, scarves, mitts, and new socks are always appreciated. Many thanks for your continued support Sister Sue
