St. Robert’s very own environmental club is already well on its way to another great school year filled with a variety of green initiatives. The environmental club meets every Tuesday after school and everyone is welcome to attend.

It has been 98 years since Canadian women were first given the opportunity to vote in a federal election, 31 years since the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guaranteed sexual equality under federal law, and 29 years since the Ontario government passed the Pay Equality Act (a provincial government statue to enforce wage equality for females). Evidently, thanks to many great men and women who have come before us and fought for equality, women’s rights and standing in society have drastically progressed.
From snow to sunshine, Toronto has seen very drastic weather this April. April is typically a month where we expect to see the beautiful, shining sun or adorable birds flying around. However, what we actually saw this month was snow. According to the CBC, Toronto received more snow in April than any other Winter month. This is the type of weather that we enjoy with a nice cup of hot chocolate, a dozen blankets, and the hope for snow days. Although this sounds extremely appealing, it is also extremely inefficient. No one is prepared for such drastic change in weather, especially with the hats, boots, and jackets recently tucked away for spring. Also, there is a high chance of slipping on ice or just getting snow in your running shoes.
