  Pursuing a Passion with Laser Focus

  By Aidan Scholten ‘25
  
  I always knew that I wanted to do something creative, but it wasn’t until early high school that things started to fall into place. That’s when I picked up a camera and started experimenting with automotive photography—what was once a hobby quickly turned into something more serious. As I started to master light, composition, and editing software, I found how much I loved visual storytelling. That interest led me to examine media arts more closely, and that’s when TMU’s Image Arts program first came onto my radar screen. It looked like the perfect combination of everything I was interested in. I started aligning everything I did with the goal, not in a forced way but because I genuinely wanted to get better at the things I loved.

  Junior School Strides for Sun Safety

  By Kaitlyn Berry

   

  To honour National Sun Awareness month, Pathways to People hosted their third annual Strides for Sun Safety event on Friday, May 9th. Each class wore blue and were challenged to find a shady spot on the CDS campus. Once students arrived at their spot, they enjoyed a tasty popsicle to help cool off. Students made sure to wear hats and sunscreen! 

   

  Ahead of the event, classes visited the Steph Collins’ Talking Circle to learn about the late CDS teacher’s legacy and her passion for sun safety. Ms. Collins was a lover of the outdoors and always emphasized the importance of being safe in the sun to her students. Strides for Sun Safety is in honour of Ms. Collins and her wish to continue the conversation about being safe in the sun.
