Picture it: Los Angeles, 2019. We collectively turn a blind eye as a special unit police officer guns down an enslaved minority that has escaped captivity. We are told the killing was done to uphold law and order. Besides, the cop is just doing his job. Sadly, aside from flying cars the dystopian vision of…
It’s so easy to pay other people compliments and cheer them on when they do something well. Being supportive of each other’s accomplishments is something that’s generally encouraged, but one thing that’s probably not given enough credit is how necessary it is to pay yourself those very same compliments. At the core of paying yourself…
The Audacity to Be Queen is a self-help book for women struggling to find their inner “Queen” in a masculine-run society. It’s a guide for women wanting to achieve anything and everything they want but who don’t know how (or that it’s not impossible). DeVee shares her own story-from starting as a small-town psychotherapist to…
Theatre has always had a special place in my heart. It’s helped me to grow as a person, get in touch with my creative side, and make lifelong friends. I graduated from Douglas College in 2018 with a diploma in theatre. Since that time, I’ve been lucky enough to work on incredible projects and meet…

Odds are, you’re a student at BCIT with a workload that requires a huge time commitment. It can often feel like you need to spend every minute to focus on your program while excluding time for social outings and helping out your community. Since the onset of COVID-19, blood donations have been considerably reduced…
I’d seen avocado pits with toothpicks poked in them in passing but had never had thought much of it. At the end of March this year my boyfriend was about to go back to Australia due to COVID-19. While he was still in Vancouver I half-joking asked him to “do the toothpick thing on this…
Orientation for first-year students is always a whirlwind of information. My BCIT orientation experience last year was a busy, bustling day with an overload of student energy. Hundreds of students in the School of Business were welcomed to the program in the Telus Theatre. My nerves had me sitting at the edge of my seat…
Amid a slew of news reports involving violent (and lethal) police incidents in the U.S., many Canadians have pondered why these events seem to happen more down south, compared to here at home. On the other hand, some have suggested that the disparity is not as deep as it appears, and that some over-sensationalized American…
