For the past two years, 1990 Bstudents have taken the tradition of dressing in outlandish costumes to heart, and each game sees a group of boisterous fans who try to outdo each other in their crazy apparel. Visiting teams have said they envy the enthusiastic support of Bishop’s fans. Stuart McFarlane from Nepean loves dressing up. “It sounds so cliché, but that thing they call the ‘Bishop’s Experience’ truly is something special. You don’t understand it until you have been a part of it.” Stuart appreciates the enthusiastic support of fans as a player. “When I’m playing lacrosse in front of a rowdy BU home crowd, the energy pumps you up. It’s a unique feeling that athletes at other schools don’t experience. It is amazing to play in front of it and awesome to be a part of it.” For Mike Mahoney from Oakland NJ, the costumes “bring a new energy to the game. We are not the originators of dressing up in ridiculous costumes but we consider ourselves good contributors in keeping the tradition alive. Every week the costumes get more creative.” Derek Henderson from Guelph claims “the fan Dressing up at games isn’t support at Bishop’s is the best in the country. The new at Bishop’s.

  • Social Science Festival Thanks
    Volume M25, Issue No. 11, November 2, 2020 Intercom is published regularly and serves to inform Vanier staff and teachers of notices and special events. It is posted on the Vanier College Website and distributed electronically. Submissions should be sent to [email protected]. Submissions should be in WORD, and sent as an attachment. No formatting or bullets. Photos are welcome. Deadline: 4:00 p.m. on the Wednesday preceding the week of publication. Social Science Festival Thanks Our annual Social Science Festival wrapped up last week. It was a week of varied and highly interesting and stimulating presentations (all delivered fully online/virtually, a first of its kind for the Vanier community)! The primary takeaway from the talks was that community (the festival’s theme) could potentially serve as a solidarity building tool; an instrument that can better equip us to face crises effectively and mitigate and/or reverse course on the discord, division and self- centredness that recent social phenomena seems to have contributed to (phenomena such as the Covid19 pandemic; environmental crises; the rise of populism; crises and concerns of social justice and equity faced by women, the destitute, visible minority and Indigenous groups). All talks were recorded and can now be viewed on VTV’s YouTube page at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLm3yY45tybOx6i7PktEiqPdlOnXvsTd_U. A special thanks to the all the people who helped make the event possible: Kelly MacDonald; Melissa Paradis; Angelo Philippas; Alena Perout; Patti Kingsmill; Bruce Norton; Meiji Estrada; David Scharing-Riendeau; David Abraham; Sydney Ong; Azhar Saïdoo; Rebecca Acone; Jennifer Joseph; Carlos Joseph Avila; David Scott; Jacky Vallee; Marlene Grossman; Alyson Jones and the Vanier College Indigenous Studies Certificate Program; Giovanna Arcuri; Marguerite Corriveau; Janelle Villanueva, Nora Soukiassian, Ivanka Hillel and Zsofia Orszagh.

  • First, Three Notes from the Dean: … and Two Invitations from Deborah
    Dear Friend of the Cathedral, Here we are at the beginning of a long, hot, relaxed summer, delighting in the permission to reconnect with friends and family. However, most church activities are on holiday while we refresh our energies, so the newsletter too will be on hiatus until the end of August, with a possible letter in late July to remind us of Pride events. This week’s letter is a bumper issue which you can read at your leisure over the next few weeks. Please be sure to read the profile of a special member of our community in the last part of the newsletter. First, three notes from the Dean: • Livestreaming option From this Sunday, we will start to Livestream our three Sunday morning services on YouTube as well as continuing to use Zoom for now. You will be able to reach our YouTube channel at www.montrealcathedral.ca/live/ It would be helpful if you could subscribe to the channel and ‘like’ it. This would not only mean that you would be informed when new livestreams are starting or videos are being added if you wish, but it will also give the cathedral additional options for running the channel. Archival videos of previous services, evensongs, music and other educational material will be kept there, as will sermons. • Survey Thank you to all who completed the survey. This is now closed. We are working on analysing the data collected and will be in touch with those who have agreed to take part in small group discussions over the coming weeks.
