Caf Food

I recently entered my school caf at Colonel By and with our new healthy menu being implemented, there is a lot of things I dont like. First of all the food is more expensive and there is less protions. The food is also made with healthier ingridients but it does not taste nearly as well as before. My biggest issue is why would anyone pay more for less? To me thats ridiculous.

I believe that its not what the Caf sells but it depends on the individual and how they decide to eat. If someone wants to be healthy then they will, if they want to go grab some junk food, why not let them? It should be their choice. I understand that the general idea is to create a healthier nation of kids but its really not in the school boards' control, kids can be going home and still eating unhealthy there so it really doesnt matter what the board implements because I believe its truly not up to them, if someone wants to make a change in their life to be healthy, they have to do it on their own.

Filming for Film

This weekend me and my film group had an awesome day of filming. We only filmed for about an hour and a half and we were able to manage a very high number of different camera angles and a lot of very intersting and presentation shots. I am very pleased with our group because the whole day we were always able to make good compramises. Every argument was handled resposibly and we were able to execute our duties so swiftly that we almost finished editing the same day. Now looking over the video I am very pleased with the results and hope to continue to work with this same group as much as possible because I believe we work very effectively together.

Ottawa Music Scene

As we speak Ottawa's music scene is growing, but when we will ? What used to be a somewhat average city with the odd very famous artist visiting not so often. More recently many more big names have been showing up in Ottawa like Lil Wayne and Taylor Swift among others. To stand corrected the big names from the rock/metal kind of bands did show up to Ottawa frequently enough I think. The issue is the rap, in between Toronto and Montreal were kind of hard to miss, so why not book this city on tour its gauranteed on route.

Ryhme Scheme

students of colonel by are crafted into geniouses at every turn. there are many different things they learn. lightly concerned about the future. all they need is their computers. and they can start a battle something of a war. they wana look like j shore and shop and that book store. But theres only one thing they need, parallel structure. Mind blowing itll make your mind rupture, seperarte from sub-culture, scaven like a vulture. With this tool they will proceed, through a life that will succeed. A journey to overcome that some have already won and even been done and done. A life of fun and fantasy thats all we'll see yeah hopefully.

Ski Club Fundraising

At CB a lot of people including myself like to sign up for Ski Club in the winter and hopefully get to go on the end of the year trip. The ski club program is extremely fun and a good time to spend with friends. Last year the trip was to Mt. St. Anne and Le Massif in Quebec and it was a great trip. I would definitly reccommend going to either of these hills to anyone next year.

 This year for fun, I though it would be a smart idea to start to do some fundraising this year with all the participants from ski club. Members from ski-club will then be able to choose a hotel and hill package that meets the new budget. If the students end up raising enough money for example they may book rooms in 5-star hotels with room service etc. Also, if the students could manage to raise enough money the trip could be extended to a week long over the March Break for example maybe with other excursions too. If everyone in the club agreed to start fundraising I think the trip could be made unforgetable.

Closing Roads For Longboarding.

Today, its hard to find easy free excursions because of the nations focus on capitalism and lack of focus on actual fun for youth. Many teenagers in the recent years have picked up longboarding. Longboarding is cheap and fun but requires a lot of road space to use up. Usually us kids just weave through traffic and speed past people on the sidewalk risking safety at every turn. I love longboarding and I have many times come too close to becoming injured or injurying somone else. Sure its fun dodging traffic and scaring people walking on the sidewalk but to be truely apprectiated, I believe there should be changes made for longboarding to be fully enjoyed. The city should gather up a council of longboarders and collaborate to find the best possible times to shut certain roads down. Im sure there are a lot of roads left empty at certain hours and this would work greatly to all the longboarders advantage.
