Célébration de l’excellence – Deuxième partie

Chers membres de la communauté universitaire / Boozhoo / Aanii / Kwe Kwe, Il y a eu récemment de nombreux accomplissements extraordinaires au sein de la communauté universitaire. Tellement, que je désire consacrer un deuxième blogue aux accomplissements des membres de la population étudiante, du corps professoral et du personnel sous le titre « Célébration de [...]

Célébration de l’excellence

Des conversations productives en perspective

Chers membres de la communauté universitaire / Boozhoo / Aanii / Kwe Kwe, Comme vous le savez, l’une des sept aspirations énoncées dans le Plan stratégique 2012-2017 est que l’Université soit réputée pour sa culture organisationnelle positive.

Un automne mouvementé, haletant…

Chers membres de la communauté universitaire / Boozhoo / Aanii / Kwe Kwe, Les températures baissent et les feuilles se décolorent autant dans le Grand Sudbury qu’à Barrie, et fort heureusement, il y a le rythme rapide de l’activité à la Laurentienne pour nous tenir chaud. Je suis honoré par le vote de confiance du [...]

Excitement, painting and… more painting!

Hey everyone, I hope your summer is coming to an eventful end! I’ll try to refrain from once again stating how fast summer is going by, and instead will tell you that I’m SUPER EXCITED to head back to residence! Some of my friends are moving into residence as early as Friday (because of their …

Royal Canadian Henley Regatta aka BBQ WEEK

This week I am competing at the biggest regatta in North America. Every year thousands of rowers, parents, coaches and friends and family descend on Port Dalhousie in St. Catharines Ontario. This year an amazing 2125 athletes are competing in over 400 heats of races; moving inch by inch, second by second, stroke by stroke, …

Sudbury “Trap Streets” – possibly the coolest thing that I’ve found out in a while.

Most people who know me find out sooner or later that I am a cartography aficionado. My room in St. John’s had a map of the city above my desk, and my washroom had a beautiful antique world map. I own two map jigsaw puzzles (1000 pieces each) and I once threw a suck attack …

More SupportOARS

This has been a big summer for Laurentian Rowing. We named the Dr. Pat Pickard, and Voyageur Carling Zeeman just took silver at the Canadian Under 23 Rowing World Championships! Needless to say, we are pretty excited. In addition to all of this, it is the ongoing generosity of our growing network of SupportOars that …

This city is a magnet.

Good morning/afternoon readers! This is my “official announcement” that I will be returning back to Sudbury and will once again attend Laurentian as I realized that it is truly my place. Last time I blogged in August 2012, I was prepping for my big, life-changing move to St. John’s, Newfoundland to finish my schooling. I’ll …

Macedonian Bread and Greek Festivals

Hey bloggies! I hope everyone’s week has been great! Once again, I can’t believe how fast the summer is flying by, this last week especially. I guess you could say I’ve had a very cultural week – to begin with, my baking obsession lead me try and master baking Kozinjak, a Macedonian bread that I’ve …

Baking Pies and Pool Days

Hey bloggies! As usual, I hope you’re all having an amazing summer! I was looking through my calender the other day, and thought to myself that the summer absolutely flew by! Although I usually find that the last five weeks of summer always go by the fastest, I think this year was an exception = …

Cottages and Rib Fest

Hey bloggies! It’s been a very long and exciting week, and I hope you’re all having as great of a summer as I am! What has everyone been up to? This week my boyfriend and I went to spend a couple nights at his family cottage (since both of us are unemployed, our week days …

(Potential) Future Voyageurs!

This week I have had the opportunity to coach the Laurentian Voyageur Rowing Camp! This year, I have a great group of kids, ages 12-15. None of whom have rowed before, but are doing spectacularly well. Each day we set goals individually, and they are assigned tasks to complete during the practice. We are trying …

Driving Lessons and Afrofest

Hey again bloggies!! Well, first thing is first, I hope you’re all having an amazing summer! I’m proud to say that last week I passed the driving school exam (YAY!) so now I’ve started my road lessons! Yesterday was my first one, and although I was nervous I think it went well! The instructor, Adam, …

Season Round up 2012-13

Hello By now, most of you know that Carleton was able to continue their strong streak of CIS Championships. For us it was quite a similar story from the year before. We once again hosted a playoff game after finishing in fourth place. We played Queen’s in our sold out gym. Our intensity and energy [...]

OUA EAST Portion

Hello all, We are just about done the regular season. We have 3 home games left and all 3 are quite important. The second half or OUA East portion of the season has been quite similar to our interlock portion. We have at times shown how well we can play but also have shown a [...]

Interlock play

Hello This past weekend ended the OUA East-West interlock portion of league play. There were many ups and downs for us during this first month, a five game winning streak that was bookended with a losses. First game was at Brock. A very talented team with lots of size. We were able to take leads [...]

Laurentian Tournament Results

The first game of the night was Waterloo vs UQAM. They had played each other recently so have built up a bit of a rivalry. It was a slow paced game which is what UQAM does best. Both teams struggled to score at times but eventually Waterloo grabbed a hold of the game and won [...]

Laurentian University Tournament

Hello, Alumni weekend was a great success. Had a lot recently graduated players show up and made for some interesting match-ups! The current Voyageurs were able to finally gap the Vintageurs late in the game to win 91-66. Thanks to all that came out to make the weekend a memorable one yet again! We are [...]

Preseason-Concordia

The preseason has begun with what has almost become a yearly trip to Montreal. We started off with a stop in Ottawa to practice/scrimmage with Carleton. It was a good opportunity to challenge ourselves against last year’s National Champions. The guys played with great intensity which so far this year has become a staple for [...]

Alumni Weekend

Hello, It is that time of year again Alumni weekend! Always a great time to reminisce and play some ball. The Alumni game is scheduled for Saturday October 13, 2012 at 7pm. Looking forward to seeing everyone again and hoping to continue the win streak against Alumni! I’m sure that should be enough motivation for [...]

Summer 2012

Hello I trust that everyone is enjoying the summer so far. It has been great here in Sudbury quite hot but of course the numerous lakes help keep everyone cool! We are only about a month away from our first game of the 2012-2013 season. We will be playing NCAA D1 Northeastern University in Ottawa [...]

Season ends at Carleton

Hi everyone, I know most of you follow our results through twitter or online and most now know our season ended last Saturday at Carleton. Thought I would sum up the last few games. After our solid win streak, we hit a rough patch at Toronto and Ryerson. We ended up losing both games to [...]

Post Christmas games

We are now half way done the OUA EAST portion of the schedule. After a rough first weekend which saw us lose to both Ottawa and Carleton at home. We have been able to battle back and are currently riding a 5 game win streak with wins over York, Queens, RMC, Toronto and Ryerson. As [...]

OUA East Play

Lady Vees 61 – Carleton 57 After returning from the Christmas break, we started our OUA East schedule at home against the CIS #5 Ranked Carleton Ravens. Carleton is a very tough, deep, well coached team and we haven’t had much success against them the last couple of years. This game turned out a little [...]

Exam Break

Our hectic first semester is now over and everyone is studying hard for exams. Here is a recap of our last two weekends of the West Division Interlock Lady Vees 80 – Waterloo 52 Our second home weekend of the season started off against Waterloo, a scrappy team that is trying to break out of a [...]

Windsor/Western

Our home opening weekend shaped up to be tough as we hosted the two time defending National champion and current CIS #1 ranked Windsor Lancers and the talented Western Mustangs Windsor 83 – Lady Vees 59 Friday night against Windsor was a very tough game for us. Not only are they very talented and experienced, they [...]

Brock/McMaster

Our OUA season began on the road as we made the trip to Brock and McMaster Brock 72 - Lady Vees 32 We were inexplicably awful against Brock. Virtually everyone was terrible in every aspect of the game. Our physical effort was there (we were trying) but our execution and decision making were horrendous. The only positive [...]

Quebec tour

For our last weekend of the pre-season, we hit the road for a three game swing through Quebec. I knew it would be a tough trip (a LOT of driving), but we would get three good games (Bishop’s, Laval, Concordia) and it would be a good test of our mental toughness. Lady Vees 67 – Bishop’s 47 Our first game [...]

Mount Royal Tournament

Last weekend we travelled to Calgary for the Mount Royal Tournament. It was a good opportunity to see where we are at basketball-wise as well as doing some team bonding. University of Calgary 55, Laurentian 44 Our first game of the weekend was against the Calgary Dinos. They made the final four at Nationals last year [...]

Congratulations on the well deserved honours! Our players were all in attendance [...]

Sault Ste Marie

On Thursday October the 4th we travelled to Sault Ste Marie for a pair of games against Algoma University and Sault College. Being able to play games against OCAA (College) teams at this time of year is great for us as we can try different systems and lineups before we head into our CIS exhibition [...]
