Some Canadians go to university to learn skills and enrich their minds and boring stuff like that. Others...join clubs. Weird clubs.
Law Show Club (University of Alberta). Are you a law student—who likes musicals? So much that you’ve dreamed of making a musical—based on law? Then this club’s for you! Every year since 1995 Law Show club members produce one show. Example: “Law Show 2012” featured Wizard of Laws, “where we will follow our heroine as she travels through the Land of Laws and make some friends (and enemies) along the way. Will she be able to return home or will she be stuck in the Land of Laws forever?!?” (The show is accompanied by a silent auction, with all proceeds going to local charity.)
Rubik’s Cube Club (University of Guelph). This club is for students (university students, we may need to remind you) who love Rubik’s Cubes so much they need to get together with other (university) students to talk about, play with, and organize competitions—all based around the Rubik’s Cube.
Right-Handed Vehicles Club (University of Manitoba). Membership open only to students who have right-handed vehicles—vehicles produced in or for countries where you drive on the left-hand side of the road—so they can get together to celebrate “the uniqueness of the vehicles we own.”
Campus Crusade for Cheese (University of Waterloo). “Do you love cheese? Do you like cheese? Would you be able to work something out with cheese? Say, if the cheese gave you a back rub and set out some nice scented candles first ...?” That’s what this club is all about, according to their website’s description, but we imagine it also involves eating a lot of cheese.
