The Open Mapping Group of McGill (OMG McGill) 
OMGMcGill is a ~*brand new group*~ on campus calling all students, profs, and staff interested in open mapping for humanitarian purposes! (Open mapping is mapmaking online using freely-accessible data).

They are launching on November 15th (Aka GIS Day), and their first mapathon will be on November 17 with free pizza! Join them in the GIC for both events- whether you're a beginner or experienced mapper, a student or a faculty/staff member. Just bring your laptop!
