We are pleased to announce that registration for the January 2002 session of the Staff Fitness Program (SFP) - which starts the week of January 14, 2002 - is now underway and takes place in Client Services, Room G20C of the McGill Sports Complex (475 Pine Ave. W.).

Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis, and staff can register for only one course. If there is room in some of the courses after the start date, we will advise faculty and staff of any availability. You must register in person and show your McGill I.D. card to validate your employee status. Thanks to the continued financial support of the University administration, the cost to staff members remains at $11.50(tax included) for each 13-week course.

The Staff Fitness Program for Macdonald campus commencing January 2002 is in its final preparatory stages. We hope to announce the details of the Macdonald SFP within the next few days; faculty and staff at Macdonald will be notified directly by email.
