Welcome to the new mbpgsa.ca

Let's face it: the old MBPGSA site was a bit outdated, and wasn't used very much. But we've taken some time over the past few months to reinvest in the platform, clean things up, simplify the design, and re-launch it. Here are a few updates to the site that we'd like to highlight for you.

Fresh coat of paint

The first thing you'll see is that the site looks completely new. The modern design is meant to make the site more readable and easier to navigate, and the responsive design means it's easier to use on a screen of any size.

Search bar

Can't find what you're looking for? Scroll down to the bottom of any page and search our entire site.

MBPGSA Calendar

On the Calendar page, you can see what the MBPGSA is up to, and add the Google calendar to your own to make it easier to stay updated on what we're doing.

Revised mandate and MBPGSA policies

In an effort to be more transparent with all the students in our department, we're making executive position descriptions clearer, making it easier to find the necessary forms, and putting up information about MBPGSA elections and committees.

New unified blog with comments

You can view all of our previous blog posts, as well as all our new and upcoming ones in one spot, with tools for easier sharing, following, and commenting. Check out any blog post for an example!

And more!

We have an RSS feed that you can subscribe to, we have useful links for current and prospective students, and a Disqus channel that you can participate in. We'll be publishing more content on the site in the next little while, so be on the lookout!

And as always, the MBPGSA wants your feedback, so if you have suggestions for the site, have questions about elections, or want to ask us anything, head to our Contact page, or email us at mbpgsa@gmail.com.

We hope you enjoy the new site!
