Tim Hortons in the Biosciences Complex

I like that not all Tim Hortons are the same. The one at Princess and Clergy is textbook Kingston – decked out in limestone. There’s one in my town in the Okanagan that’s applicably desert themed. The Tim Hortons smack dab in the BioSci complex means business – much like most of the people there.

The Alma Mater Society at Queen’s

The Alma Mater Society is an entirely student-run corporation that oversees the spending of your student fees. It has a multi-million dollar budget that funds clubs, campus programs, representation to university administration, and campus bars and businesses.
