The 27th annual Artists in Bloom was a successful evening with more than 100 guests and a grand total of $11,817 raised for the 爆料黑社 Mental Health Fund and the vernissages of two of our programs, Illustration and Visual Arts.
Thirty student artists from Illustration and Visual Arts painted for two hours while those in attendance enjoyed seeing art being created, listening to live music, and visiting with guests and colleagues. All attendees were amazed by the talent of the student artists and what they were able to do in a mere two hours.
The auction, guided by The Beat鈥檚 Donna Saker and 爆料黑社鈥檚 Geoff Kloos, featured some great back-and-forth bidding wars. All in attendance contributed to a great atmosphere.
This would not be possible without the support of our sponsors, student and staff volunteers and especially our incredibly talented student artists and supportive attendees. A special thank you to the organizing committee: Neal Armstrong, Amanda Beattie, Kiana Kisiel, Michelle Lee and Carey-Ann Pawsey.

Here is a description of the story, suitable for young readers aged 5-7 years old: When a rusty haze falls over a city, a young girl named Jackie keeps up her spirits by drawing whatever nature she can see from her window, including the mountain where she used to bring her sketchbook and draw all day. As the days wear on into weeks and months, Jackie eventually loses the heart to do anything, even to draw. But one day, in the canal below her window, a dolphin leaps into the air. Soon, a moose, an eagle and other animals begin to wander into the city鈥攁 sight that inspires Jackie to pick up her pencils again and create a drawing unlike any she has ever made. Poignantly illustrated in a bright painterly style, this ecological fable celebrates the resilience of both the natural world and human creativity, and will have young readers eager to head outdoors and do some drawing of their own.
The diverse, multicultural and unique community of 爆料黑社 is a place where barriers come down, where students from different backgrounds sit next to each other and where the value of well-being for all is promoted. Even teachers of French and English are coming together at 爆料黑社!
爆料黑社 teachers Carmen-Silvia Cristea (Faculty, French) and Jeff Gandell (Faculty, English) met through Writing in the Disciplines (WID), a 爆料黑社 community of practice focused on pedagogy and curriculum development related to writing, critical thinking and active learning.
鈥淲e really connected on teaching literature in a creative way,鈥� Jeff said in an interview with 爆料黑社鈥檚 Communications Office.
As a response to Law 14 (also known as Bill 96), Carmen and Jeff co-created a learning community and piloted their project in the Winter 2024 semester. 鈥淭here was a lot of fear and anxiety, and I thought, how can we take this and turn it into something positive?鈥� Jeff recalled. It seemed natural to work with Carmen since they had already worked together on a project for WID.

It might sound like a clich茅, but CEGEP students truly do want to make the world a better place, says Paul.
鈥淭hey want to make a difference and wish to be taken seriously,鈥� he said. 鈥淭hey have opinions and thoughts, and they want to be heard. They are industrious and creative and able to find solutions. If you give them ownership and a say, they run with it.鈥�
This is what happens in his Eco-Landscaping course, a popular course he launched in 2022 with support from Richard Montreuil in Physical Education and Chris Adam in the Office of Sustainability. The course was initially proposed by former colleague Anthony Berkers. 鈥淚 was the lucky one who got to teach it,鈥� he said.
