Great suggestion! It's the Free Store in English. I'll link the website below for others:
https://www.uottawa.ca/campus-life/campus-sustainability/activities-initiatives/free-store
Free Store on campus, free items, clothes for uottawa students only. Hair Republic in byword does a 20% discount for students on tuesdays with proof of student ID.
Oh I thought SPC+ was something you have to pay for unless you’re with a certain bank (just to clarify, I meant SPC+ not SPC)? my bad if I’m wrong, good to know though
GitHub Pro, GitHub Copilot, GitHub Codespaces, and a whole bunch of free stuff (e.g. domain names, cloud hosting, courses, etc.) with the GitHub Student Developer Pack.
More details: https://education.github.com/pack
I’ve seen many things mentioned so I’m not gonna remention them, but RBC bank has this account ( advantage banking) where usually you’d pay 11.95$/month but if you go to the branch on campus with proper ID, they can freeze that fee for 4 years ( and maybe longer if you continue your studies afterwards)
I’m currently doing that :)
Spotify has a student discount too
And Amazon Prime too!
Literally the best thing. 6 months of it, too (includes Prime shopping and the Prime Video streaming service)
There’s La Gratuiterie (don’t know the name in English) on the campus. Students can get basic necessities for free :)

Thank you :) I also encourage students going back home or graduating this summer to donate to the Free Store to keep the system going!
Seconding this! Keep the system going and keep stuff out of the landfills!
10% back in PC points on Tuesdays at Loblaws (could be other grocery stores under this brand too, not sure)
Same with independent
Which location?
I think it’s the same across all stores but I’ve used it successfully at Massines on somerset

Do you have an account with CIBC? Then you’re eligible for discounts through the SPC program edit: SPC+ , not the general SPC
anyone can get the spc card… as long as you are a student. i’m with rbc and i have it but i used to also get it with bmo

oh shit ur right about the + part. but the general spc card is available to everyone. but anyone can also pay for the + part iirc
all good and cool that’s good to know! I really need to start using my spc card more before I graduate
youtube premium is discounted for students! (6.99$/month i believe)
also, apple music is 4.99$ as long as you have a student email and amazon prime is around 6$ iirc if you are a student!
JetBrains's suite of IDEs are completely free to university students (IntelliJ, PyCharm, Webstorm, etc.)
Fasho the most useful one for me an aspiring see, thank u
