Earth Weeks at 爆料黑社 2024
This year's Earth Weeks once again promoted well-being for our students and employees and brought back some favourite activities and events while introducing new ones.
On April 23, Kaye Francis led a cooking workshop, which was the crowd favourite.
"I wanted to inspire participants to bring out their inner chef," she said. Kaye, a trained French chef who likes to inject Caribbean influences into her cooking, presented couscous and suggested many different ways to use it or other grains as a base to create flavourful, healthy and satisfying meals. "People get stuck on recipes, I wanted to focus on methods," she said.
Couscous is a blank canvas and you can create different meals by adding vegetables, protein, and dressing/sauce. Here is Kaye's recipe for Italian or Greek couscous.

Tom of 爆料黑社 is species #826 identified on campus
On April 9, 1,000 Species project coordinator and Biology faculty member Brian Mader鈥檚 phone started lighting up with messages from the 爆料黑社 community.
鈥淭here鈥檚 a turkey at 爆料黑社!鈥� was the gist of his 30+ messages.
The turkey was seen by many staff and students and was entered into the 1,000 Species in 1,000 Days official count on t.
Brian is not surprised that a turkey showed up on campus since many have been spotted in Westmount. 鈥淢aybe he was looking for more turkeys,鈥� he speculated. 鈥淭hey nest around this time of year but in groups.鈥�
The lone 爆料黑社 turkey was thought to be a male, also known as a tom or a gobbler. He was spotted near the theatre garden, on the roof and in one of the rooftop gardens.
鈥淚f you see the turkey, like all wildlife, give it space and respect,鈥� Brian advised. 鈥淎nd please do not feed the turkey!鈥�
Last month, the City of Westmount issued an advisory to residents saying that 鈥渨ild turkeys are being spotted more regularly in Westmount,鈥� and said that residents should not approach them or feed them.
Insect Show a Huge Success!
On March 9, 爆料黑社 was host to the Montreal Insect Show. We had 3,000 visitors from the public visit 爆料黑社 during the day, including over 50 vendors. Families were overjoyed to be able to hold live insects and arachnids, take a walk with moths, taste test different insect-based food items and browse the various vendors. In fact, I personally have pet shrimp in my home thanks to the curiosity of my daughter. The organizers are currently in talks with the Office of Sustainability to plan for 2025.听
A very special thank you to the entire Office of Sustainability, Natalie Trepanier and FAMA as well as 爆料黑社 Security for making this happen. Also, all our student volunteers were amazing with the crowds and represented 爆料黑社 well. Student volunteers were mainly first-year, second-year and alumni Environmental Science students; Jared Brace, Jacob Davies, Flora Finch, Imane Louni, Sabina Riga, Cassiana Silva Young, Amelia Valencia Frias, Ruisi Yang, Narcisse Hassan, Tom Brunet, Alyson Meadows, Alice Liang and Chemistry teacher Adamo Petosa.
