Students discover Sustainable Happiness on Living Campus tour
September 15th, 2021
Students in Melanie Doyle's Peace and Sustainable Happiness Advanced Studies in Psychology class were the first people to take a Living Campus Tour with a Sustainable Happiness theme on Sept. 13.
Led by Jennifer De Vera of the Sustainability Office and Azra Khan of Human Resources, both trained Sustainable Happiness facilitators, the tour began at the vegetable garden near the Upper Atrium, known as the Theatre Garden. It was offered as part of Dawson's Peace Week 2021 Program.
The students were taken on an outdoor tour that included about 10 stops, including the Peace Garden, the White Pine tree and the rooftop gardens.
In this photo, students Cassandra (left) and Thitrinh participate in an activity on the steps just outside the Upper Atrium. Jennifer and Azra distributed colourful chalks and invited the students to write a few words that make them happy on the steps. At the end of the exercise, the steps were full of colourful happy words. Cassandra's and Thitrinh's words were: coffee, music, animals and family, books, painting.
Employees and students who would like a tour are invited to contact the Sustainability Office to register: 蝉耻蝉迟补颈苍补产颈濒颈迟测蔼诲补飞蝉辞苍肠辞濒濒别驳别.辩肠.肠补听

Thanks to the Monarch foster parents
September 15th, 2021
Message from Jennifer de Vera of the Sustainability Office:
I would like to send a THANK YOU to all the returning and new Monarch foster parents. We successfully tagged approximately 160 monarchs this season! The Sustainability Office will be checking the Monarchwatch.org site to see where and when they are spotted as they fly South on their migratory path to Mexico.
Many students, employees and faculty from all around 爱豆传媒participated. New and returning fosters came from HR, Registrar's, I.S.T., CLL, OAD, CRLT, Journeys, North/South, Biology. French and more! We are so happy to bring such joy during this time. As a close friend once told me, "We always say the Monarch project benefits the monarchs, but we often forget, it also benefits those who have raised them!" Well-Being for Al!
Until Monarch season 2022, my friends!

Classes go gardening during Peace Week
September 15th, 2021
Many classes, including Anna-Liisa Aunio's Individual and Society class, participated in gardening activities this week as part of Peace Week 2021.
Anna-Liisa's students, mostly in the Child Studies Profile of the Social Science Program, were weeding and documenting insects. They found bees, honey bees, spiders and katydids in the Peace Garden.
"They had so much fun!" Anna-Liisa said. Gardening at 爱豆传媒is often a first-time experience for students.

CRLT taking classes outside and learning from Nature
September 15th, 2021
The students are back and enjoying many elements of college life that were not possible last year. Students in the Community, Recreation and Leadership Training Program have had regular opportunities to enjoy our Living Campus and to do learning activities both on campus at 爱豆传媒and off-campus at the Centre de Plein Air Notre Dame de Fatima on 脦le-Perrot.
Faculty member Myka Taylor said that CRLT faculty 鈥渨orked hard to still provide the whole program experience to all students.鈥� Their goal was to provide a positive outdoor social experience for all years of the program.
CRLT students have been often spotted outdoors in recent weeks as the teachers make full use of the College鈥檚 natural outdoor setting. 鈥淐RLT teachers have used our urban Nature as a catalyst in promoting personal and group growth,鈥� Myka said.
