Every sketch, every stroke, every stitch, every snapshot—they all tell a story, a story of truth, faith, love, self-awareness and community. “Sharing our Creative Spirits” is the first of four art exhibits featured this year as part of the Art on the Wall program located in the Kanata Centre for Worship and Global Song in the Waterloo Lutheran Seminary. A […]
Big things are coming this weekend. You know it. I know it. It’s our last hurrah before we completely buckle down for the semester. Along with Homecoming and similar events such as St. Paddy’s Day, comes an entire planning process that can take weeks. What you’re going to wear, what you’re going to drink, where you’re going drink and who […]
Filming for Canada in a Day happened September 10 and, although it certainly will be a moving display when completed, it seemed to miss the mark with students.

There is no denying that women in our society face a certain amount of pressure to have hairless skin. Women are constantly bombarded with methods of hair removal […]
Another school year is upon us which means that a lot of changes are happening. With first-years moving into dorms and upper-years finding off-campus housing, anticipation is flowing.

In the world of dining halls, all nighters and Pizza Maniac, it can seem almost impossible to eat healthy while in a university residence. For those skeptics out there who think they don’t have time to make a homemade meal in residence, or think it’s too expensive to eat healthy, think again. Whether you are a seasoned chef or don’t […]
