Student/Staff/Faculty
Brunch Cancelled

The annual
Student/Staff/Faculty Brunch
that was planned for Sunday,
October 1 of this year had to
be cancelled because ticket
sales were extremely low.
The decrease in interest has
prompted the Counselling
Centre to reexamine the spe-
cial events that it organizes.
These special events include
the Student/Staff/Faculty
Brunch, the Festive Holiday
Dance and the Toonie
Breakfast. The events are
organized to encourage the
creation of a UNBC commu-
nity and promote interaction
between staff, students, and
faculty. If you would like to

help the Counselling Centre
evaluate these events, please

complete a survey or allow
yourself to be interviewed.
Anyone who completes a sur-
vey or consents to be inter-
viewed will have his or her
name placed in a draw to win
a gift pack donated by the
UNBC Bookstore. There is
also suggestion box set up at
the Student Success
Centresi reception for stu-
dents, staff, or faculty to drop
off their comments or sugges-
tions. If you would like a copy
of the survey or would like to
be interviewed please email
einfeld|@unbc.ca or
melly_newell @ hotmail.com
or visit the 6Creating A UNBC
Communityi table located in
the Agora on Mondays and
Fridays.

Reflections
on
Remembrance

| sit here in my bedroom
thinking of the makings of one
of the most important days for
Canadian Citizens and more
importantly the world as a
whole, | am speaking of the
eleventh day of the eleventh
month when we stand on the
eleventh hour and remember
those who lived, those who
died, cried and sacrificed so
that we as humans can live in
harmony.

It saddens me that a lot of
people, including myself,
have at some point scorned
the idea of going to an
assembly or simply left
halfway through it because
they have either been too

ignorant or impatient to listen
to the history which makes
November 11,
Rememberance day such an
important holiday. Then |
remember the sincere haiku’s
which children are assigned
to write in elementary schools
and | smile. | smile and
remember my classes and
our discussions with our
teachers when | simply did
not understand the concept of
war; | think further & into my
adolecence and now my tran-
sition to adulthood where my
heart has forced me to begin
to comprehend.

Now when my Grandfather
wants to discuss History and

November 3, 2000

tell me of his experiences in
The Navy | sit and | listen qui-
etly no matter how many
times | have heard the stories
not because | have to or that |
am being polite but because it
narrows the gap in our gener-
ations and right there and
then we are one.

So now when | hear in
Flanders Fields | remember
where the poem came from
and when the 11th comes |
too will stand, wearing a red
poppy and if | am alone | will
simply turn a radio on and
share that quite momment
with the nation—for my life, it
is the least | can do!

Can you guess what the significance of

this is?
