Top 5 Best Quick Healthy Breakfasts
In light of the midterm session, it is important to remember to eat and sleep well. Eating healthy is not only good for you physically but also mentally. Personally, it is my favorite meal, which is ironic since I rarely ever have time to eat breakfast. The one good thing about online school was that I could have late breakfasts at home, and I wouldn’t have to worry about packing it to school. But since being back in person, those breakfasts have been reserved for weekends. But as I am…

Francophonie canadienne : Une minorité commune oubliée
Plusieurs d’entre nous ici à Vanier tiennent une cause à cœur. Que ce soit l’environnement, l’éducation, la justice sociale ou le multiculturalisme, c’est toujours cette passion qui nous aidera à transformer la société pour le mieux. Ce qui me sensibilise le plus dans notre monde, c’est un sujet que, malheureusement, de nombreux Canadiens ignorent. Cette cause est la protection et la survie de la francophonie canadienne.

Florida will go one further and was actually able to pass what they call the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. The legislation is actually called the Parental Rights in Education bill. Still, the Internet has deemed it the Don’t Say Gay”…

Maya Angelou: a force to be reckoned with
“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you do, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Maya Angelou was born on April 4th, 1928, in St. Louis, Missouri. She had a rough childhood as she lived in a segregated town where racism was omnipresent. Moreover, Angelou was the victim of sexual abuse, which led her to not speak for five years. Her childhood lacked the stability and safety that she desperately needed. However, this did not stop her from achieving great things in her…

There is Kennedy, the administrative director of the club, Emily, the president, Danae, the director of communications, Andrea, the director of finances, and Camille, the…
