Women’s Week: Three Successful Women Tackle Gender in the Workplace

newspaper 0 comment

The three women participating in March 9th’s International Women’s Week discussion panel could hardly have been more different from one another. Entitled “Women in the Workforce: Is it Really 2016?”, the event brought together three unique career women; Jennifer Ho, a product manager at L’Oreal’s Montreal office; Nicole Antoine, co-founder of the activism group “Four Brown Girls” and prominent women’s rights and black rights activist; and Lindsay Hollinger, who balances a career as a portfolio manager at Jarislowski Fraser with her role as a mother raising two small children. The…

These days, most people fail to see the virtue in simply storing one’s earnings in a savings account. It is sometimes called “hoarding money” and is often seen as selfish, but there is a very strong justification, which, interestingly, is both selfish and altruistic, for putting savings in a simple index fund. The biggest reason behind the high standard of living of western countries, and other rich countries, is the high amount of capital invested in these countries. This capital consists of the accumulated wealth of many people in the…

Environmentalists, outdoorsmen and women, and aspiring biologists now have one more reason to see Vanier as their number one choice for CEGEP studies. As of Fall 2016, students entering the Environmental and Wildlife Management program, a three-year career program, will have certain CEGEP credits count towards a Bachelor’s degree at Bishop’s University. This new pipeline between the Ville St-Laurent based college and the university in Lennoxville looks to facilitate the academic progression of students in this field. Often, and particularly in the science programs, undergraduates must retake classes that they…

Coming off of their best season since joining the MLS in 2012, the Montreal Impact will definitely be looking to repeat, and eventually do even more, damage than they did last year.

A number of Vanier students can now boast about having held an Olympic gold medal in their hands, thanks to Caroline Ouellette’s inspiring visit to Vanier in honour of International Women’s Week.

Valentine’s Day is over and the coast is clear enough to air out all of that bitterness that some folks might be feeling, without running the risk of being called petty for it. It’s a good thing though! Jealousy is an emotion that is often overlooked and dismissed as being juvenile, and it is rarely ever afforded the same wariness that we give anger and sadness as far as mental health issues go. Jealousy is as valid a feeling as any other, and it is about time that the conversation…

In a far off land, where the skies reflect a radiant blue light into the eyes of beholders, and the natural landscapes possess the most vivid green aura about them, a kingdom exists. Its wealth was unparalleled, and its people prosperous. This land was ruled by the most egotistic of monarchs. His name was Ray Teena, and he held himself on a very high pedestal. He hailed from a long line of philosophers who organized sustainable methods of managing the economy and government. Soon after getting married, his wife became…

Album Review: Intersections-Drum & Tongue

Music has evolved in such a way that we can make it with a single push of a button on our computers. Anyone can do it, but some fail miserably. Others, however, develop their own styles, their own beats that can very well transcend multiple genres as a whole. These beats may later be paired with lyrics that not only compliment the instrumental audio but in fact illustrate stories that can only glorify the intensity of the beats. Montreal-based rap duo Drum & Tongue’s 2015 album Intersections does just that….
