AutoShare gives GBC alumni a good deal on vehicles Partnership provides much needed discount on car sharing for alumni MAVERICK SMITH STAFF REPORTER

Insurance, maintenance, gas prices. These are only three of the reasons why many Torontonians do not own a car.

Not having a car makes getting around much more difficult because Toronto is a city that prioritizes cars over other forms of transportation.

Despite many promises by politicians, existing bike lanes only cover a fraction of the city’s streets. The streetcars and buses that are run by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) do not have separate lanes, something which is a common practice in other Canadian cities like Montreal.

Anyone who attempts to navigate the city by relying on the subway can testify that the four TTC subway lines leave the city’s infrastructure woefully underdeveloped.

The way that services are located in the city also shows how much cars are needed to get around.

The global financial crisis has left many

people unable to afford this form of transportation. This is where car-sharing services have stepped in to serve as a solution to this transportation issue.

George Brown alumni are fortunate because not only do car-sharing services exist in Toronto, but the college has entered into a partnership with one of them for their benefit.

The car-sharing service AutoShare allows alumni to join at a reduced cost of $29. For college alumni, AutoShare has even made their first year of membership free; people get a $45 plan free credit which covers the entire cost of AutoShare’s “simple plan” carsharing service or, if people wish to upgrade, this credit can be applied towards any of AutoShare’s other plans.

Within two days of their application, people will know if they have been accepted or if they need to continue to rely on the infuriating TTC. Once their acceptance is confirmed, they can pick up a quick start package and begin to enjoy the benefits of having access to 135 car-sharing locations in Toronto, right away, 24 hours a day, and seven days a week.

The cost of these trips will be added to their monthly credit card statement.

Because of all of these features relating to affordability, practicality and conve-

nience, it is little wonder that post-secondary institutions are partnering up with car sharing services.

Although the legality of these arrangements may be a contested topic in some

countries, Torontonians should be happy that car-sharing is an option in terms of navigating our sprawling city, easily, while still minimizing their carbon footprint.

Baird: Canada not a stranger to terrorism Support extended Echoes of the Boston Bombings can be heard for mental in Canada, says Kerry health fund MICHELLE ZILIO iPOLITICS

OTTAWA—The shootings last week at Ottawa’s War Memorial and on Parliament Hill constituted a terrorist attack, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird agreed Tuesday.

The pair made the comments during a press conference in Ottawa Tuesday afternoon, following Kerry’s visit to the Cenotaph, where he laid a wreath in honour of two Canadian soldiers killed last week in Ottawa and SaintJean-sur-Richelieu, Que. - Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent.

While Kerry was reluctant to “prejudice” any characterization of the shootings

by Canadian authorities, he said he sees the attack as a terrorist act.

“Clearly anybody who walks up in a premeditated way with a rifle and attacks somebody in uniform and then purposefully goes to a parliament is committing by common

sense standards a terrorist act,” said Kerry to a group of reporters at the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development.

Baird agreed, echoing the sentiments of Prime Minister Stephen Harper in his address to the nation last Wednesday night.

“There’s no doubt that the events on Wednesday were not just an attack on one soldiers, an attack on building, they were an attack on our democracy, they were terrorist attacks. I think, as John (Kerry) said, it’s only common sense to label it that,” said Baird.

Baird also put to rest the idea of Canada “losing its innocence,” as questions raised by many columnists and commentators following last week’s attacks.

“These attacks were no loss of innocence, as some have described. While we are overall a remarkably safe nation, we are unfortunately not strangers to terrorism.”

Kerry said last week’s attacks in Ottawa reminded him of the Boston bombings in April 2013, which killed three and left more than 260 Boston marathon runners and onlookers injured. During his time as a senator, Kerry represented the state of Massachusetts.

“This week, with an equal measure of sadness mixed with resolve, the echoes (of

the Boston Bombings) can be heard here in Canada. Ottawa strong. Quebec strong.

Canada strong,” said Kerry.

Baird and Kerry reaffirmed their common commitment to the fight against the Islamic State (IS) extremist group abroad as well as homegrown terrorism. Canada has committed military support to the U.S.-led mission against IS in Iraq.

Kerry said the bilateral partners are always looking for way to further co-operate, adding that Canada and the U.S. will work “quietly and carefully in the next days and months” to intensify its law enforcement, border protection and intelligence-sharing efforts.

“Canada and the United States are now in discussions, not with any sense that things weren’t done or there’s some information that we didn’t somehow share or have, but rather with a view to making certain that every possible stone is turned over, every possible policy is reviewed, because our obligation obviously is to protect our citizens.”

Baird said the pair also discussed the financing of terrorism and tackling the “challenge that is radicalization,” emphasizing that Canada and the U.S. are not safe havens for extremists.

Support for projects is helping improve mental health services for Ontario post-secondary students MARC RAGUSA SPECIAL TO THE DIALOG

Ontario is extending the Mental Health Innovation Fund (MHIF). The Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities has made a $12 million investment towards an additional two years of funding for mental health initiatives in post-secondary institutions.

“I think the government highlights key issues with this round of funding; namely addictions, as it can be perceived to be part of the university experience, and how to cope, with strategies against these addictions,” said Sean Madden, executive director for the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance.

As part of Ontario’s mental health strategy, the MHIF will support new and innovative approaches to help post-secondary students in transitioning to college or university, and in accessing needed health services.

The first call for project proposals was made in Sept. 2012 and since then more than 20 projects have received funding, according to a press release by the ministry.

Now the government is calling for more proposals “with a focus on First Nation and Métis students, students with addictions issues, and students with mental health or addictions issues who are transitioning from secondary to post-secondary studies.”

At George Brown “we take a healthy campus approach,” said Suzan Teows, director of academic services and student affairs. “We’ve had free training for 250 students for mental health first aid with six trainers and now we have a new mental health specialist. We can also refer students to counselling and peer-assisted learning.”

Calgary Mayor talks up city at Waterfront

Suspects sought in assaults near GBC campuses MARC RAGUSA SPECIAL TO THE DIALOG

Sexual Assault According to police, at approximately 1 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 7 in Ramsden Park near Davenport and Avenue Roads, a woman was walking up the stairs and a man was walking down the stairs towards her.

The man grabbed the woman, threw her to the ground, and tried to cover her mouth before sexually assaulting her. After the assault, the man fled eastbound toward Yonge Street.

He is described as white, in his mid 30s, is about 5-9 to six feet tall, was wearing prescription glasses, a dark blue hoodie with white lines on the sides, and dark-coloured pants, possibly jeans.

ANEESA MUSTAPHA STAFF REPORTER

Calgary is bursting with opportunity, and George Brown College (GBC) students and graduates are being invited to be a part of it.

Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi visited GBC’s Waterfront campus on Oct. 22 to talk about the opportunities in his city. He says the city needs 200,000 more people to live and work there.

“We’ve had terrific graduates from George Brown that we’ve met in Calgary, and we think that the kind of folks who love being at a downtown, urban campus would also love living in Calgary,” said Nenshi.

A poster behind the mayor read, “Calgary: you’re invited to be part of the energy,” which he described as having many meanings, the most obvious being the thriving energy sector, but also the energy in the air, in the city, the people and in the community.

He described the energy sector as the nucleus of the city’s economy and community, but he made sure that people in attendance knew that that wasn’t all Calgary had to offer.

His speech was both educational and emotional, focused on the city’s “buoyant” job market, the remarkable outdoors, and the sense of community, which he believes is unique to Calgary.

Nenshi spoke passionately about the 2013 Alberta floods, “the incredible power and resilience of everyday people, doing everyday things, with their everyday hands, to make extraordinary change in the world,” saying it was the most remarkable experience of humanity he had ever seen in his life, despite the devastation and tragedy experienced by Calgarians.

“We live in a place where every single person, in every single corner of the community, has the opportunity in Calgary right here, right now, to live a great Canadian life.

That’s what we managed to build,” said Nenshi. “We managed to build it in most parts of this country. It’s a very special thing, but we’ve really managed to build it in Calgary.”

He ended his talk with a moving promotional video about Calgary, followed by an interactive question and answer period with students.

When asked what the City of Calgary was doing to address the lack of affordable housing Nenshi said, “If there’s a negative part to all of you coming to Calgary immediately, booking your flights right away, it’s that it will be tough to find a place to live.”

According to a report released in June by the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) Calgary’s vacancy rate for rental housing is one of the lowest in Canada at 1.2 per cent.

Describing what he calls a system “clogged at the top” with the high cost of homes in Calgary, Nenshi highlighted that Attainable Homes Calgary, a subsidiary of the City, has helped 500 homeowners buy their first home.

The average rent for a two bedroom apartment in Calgary is $1,267, a 12.2 per cent increase in the past two years, according to the CMHC report.

With no rent control in Alberta, landlords are free to raise the rent however high they think the market can bear each year.

“We have to build more social housing, we have to build more affordable housing,” said Nenshi adding that Calgary was short 5,000 units, “the federal and provincial governments really have to understand that this is a crisis and that the only way to build social housing is to have the funding to build social housing—and that has been few and far between.”

Men’s basketball team swats Seneca Sting 81-78 Former star Halimov assists basketball team to close win over Seneca BRITTANY BARBER STAFF REPORTER

At George Brown College (GBC) the Huskies faced their rival, the Seneca Sting, for the season opener on Oct. 22 at the Alex Barbier Gym. “I feel very good tonight,” said head coach Jonathan Smith, before the game.

“I put a positive vibe out there to keep the guys motivated.”

The Huskies and the Sting were neckand-neck for the duration of the game, going from a five point lead to a tie, then five or 10 point lead again just a few moments later.

If you blinked, you would have missed the action.

At the end of the fourth quarter, the Huskies managed to slide past the Sting with a score of 81-78.

This was the first game for the Huskies, pre-season included, that had the full array of players since seven were injured in an exhibition game against Durham College on Oct. 17.

Smith claimed the season opener was to be a “baptism by fire” against Seneca saying, “you have to go in hopeful and if you’re not, then it’s never going to happen.”

A ceremony before the game was held for those who had their jersey numbers retired.

Val Pozzan, 13, Vadim Halimov, 24, Marv Snowden, 33, and Kevin Taylor, 42, watched as their jerseys were unveiled on the wall of

the Alex Barbier Gym. “I’m honoured that I only played at GBC for one year and they’re retiring my jersey,” said Hamlimov. “It is a privilege to be amongst the other three names.”

Things will be a bit different on the court for the Huskies with Halimov returning as an assistant coach.

After tearing his ACL over the summer, the record-breaking prodigy of last year’s basketball season, Halimov is able to help players this season from a different perspective.

“This was a great option for us,” said Smith. “He always wanted to work on his IQ and understanding of the game, the X’s and O’s, and behind the scenes.”

Smith sees Halimov as inspiring players in the future saying they will have a better understanding if they have someone that’s been there for five years, who has gotten all the records and knows what it takes to get there.

“I want to play at a higher level. I had an amazing five years, I don’t want to play college basketball anymore,” said Halimov.

“The players realize he has the right to speak, all he has to do is flash the ring once and say, ‘I’m the player of the year and you’re not, listen to me and play attention’, because he has the results,” said Smith.

With a victorious ending to a great season opener and the reveal of the retired jerseys, Halimov says, the Huskies “need to focus on working as a team.”

Their next opportunity to show the rival team what they’re are made of will be on Nov. 1 against Algonquin College at St. James campus’ Alex Barbier Gym.

U-CUP’s only college mountain biker

BRITTANY BARBER STAFF REPORTER

Shanan Kinsella, a third year mechanical engineering design student at George Brown College (GBC) is climbing, speeding and racing his way to the top.

Kinsella is a motivated and well-prepared mountain biker who competed in the Ontario University Mountain Bike Race Council (OUMRC), associated with the Ontario Cycling Association. While mountain biking is not considered a varsity or intramural sport, the OUMRC promotes mountain biking as something enjoyable and for fun.

The idea behind the OUMRC is to race and live out your passions with those who share the common interest of biking. The races put on by OUMRC are referred to as the U-CUP. “I found out about U-CUP because a co-worker of mine at Sweet Pete’s bike shop was an alumni at GBC in the design program. U-CUP sounded like something fun and interesting to do and so that’s something I started,” said Kinsella.

Having been biking for the past four seasons and being interested in becoming more involved in the GBC community, Kinsella emailed Ed Marks, manager of athletics, who he says was very helpful in meeting him, explaining U-CUP, and getting him started.

Kinsella has raced in two out of four of

George Brown is 8th in the OCAA East

He’s begun to heighten his connections by talking to bicycle engineering firms in Toronto, and says that there’s a good chance there will be job positions open once he’s done.

When put into the industry full time, Kinsella is prepared to incorporate his knowledge into the innovation of bikes.

“I would like to incorporate modern technology into bicycles,” said Kinsella.

“I think from experience, riding and racing, having a general passion for bikes, and being a mechanic, there are different perspectives that I have that are valuable to bring into the design process.”

After graduating this coming April, Kinsella has plans to see the world by bike.

Heading out to Europe with a touring bike, “it’ll be a bit different from a mountain bike, but I’ll be biking with a tent with me so that I can ride between cities and towns, camp and see the world by bike.”

He wants others to understand the work put on behind the scenes, and says that passion and dedication are the most important things relating to biking or mechanical engineering.

“Anything you want to pursue, you just have to like what you’re doing and do it a lot to be good at that,” said Kinsella. “I just try to keep in mind the things I like and just stick to them, and that’s how to follow your dreams, by passion and dedication and putting time into things, and you’ll get back what you put in.”

Shanan Kinsella went from being a bike mechanic to mechanical engineering

the U-CUP races due to signing up in the latter part of the season.

Placing 29th and timed in 1:22:56 seconds, Kinsella finished his first race in Albion Hills Conservation Area.

“Not bad considering it was my first race,” he said. “I had a few technical difficulties. Thought my last lap was my best.”

Kinsella is the only college student being represented in this season’s U-CUP. “I’ve raced against a lot of people from (the main teams) University of Toronto and Queens University,” said Kinsella.

“There were also people from Guelph and a few other universities.”

That did not stop him from competing again at Ganaraska Forest in Port Hope.

The second and final race of the season resulted in Kinsella placing in 22nd, beating a few people who had finished before him during his first race; his total time was 1:17:03 seconds.

It was an amazing race for Kinsella, considering that he had found his passion for mountain biking three years ago.

“Last summer I was living in Victoria (British Columbia) working at a bike shop.

They had an extra mountain bike there I could borrow and I started using it regularly,” said Kinsella. “The mountain bike trails there are really great and it inspired me to keep going. I started liking it a lot.”

“I’ve been in the bike industry for awhile, I spent four seasons as a bike mechanic,” said Kinsella. “A part of doing that inspired an interest for mechanics in general and I wanted to develop that further, and expand my knowledge there, which led me to GBC for mechanical engineering.”

Kourtney Bergman

What do you think about the Canadian government sending fighter jets to bomb ISIS in Iraq?

MICHAEL NGUYEN PHOTO/VIDEO EDITOR

I don’t think it’s a good idea.

I’m not a big fan of violence and I don’t support it. I think it’s just going to cause bigger problems. It’s not going to create any peace.

Tina Daevoudveiglou

We are more of the peacekeepers and rescuers. We’re lovers, not fighters.

Ann Marie Willington

I think ISIS is a terrorist group like nothing we have ever seen before. ISIS is more of a terrorist than Al Qaeda was and I agree with Ottawa and Steven Harper intervening with air strikes in the far east to eliminate and eradicate them.

Angella Jones

I was in cadets for seven years and I don’t think that we should be doing that. We have the duty to help other countries out, that’s why our soldiers are sent over there. But to send fighter jets to actually bomb those places, I don’t think it’s right for Canada to be doing that. We shouldn’t be putting our soldiers in danger to do harm to other countries.

EDITORIAL Nov. 3 –Nov. 16, 2014

Remembrance Day is a time for quiet reflection, not war The recent murder of Corporal Nathan Cirillo in Ottawa has many Canadians anxious for their safety and calling for greater security measures.

His death was undoubtedly a tragedy, however, it is imperative that Canadians do not use isolated incidents like this one to encourage military action, particularly around Remembrance Day. Now is a time for quiet contemplation of the consequences of war and conflict, not a time to encourage greater military action.

People called World War I “The War to End all Wars.” Even using official Canadian government records, the death toll is shocking.

Out of a population of eight million people, more than 650,000 men and women from Canada and Newfoundland served, and of these people, over 66,000 gave their lives and more than 172,000 were wounded.

Almost a century later, Canada still commemorates this and holds ceremonies on Remembrance Day. It is then appropriate to contextualize our emotions around the

murder of Cirillo in terms of the horrific toll of war and conflict rather than in terms of military-glorifying nationalistic fear.

The recent decision of the Harper government to involve Canada in military action in Iraq is already a substantial step in the wrong direction. Incidents like the shooting in Ottawa are just the kind of tool a warmongering government can take advantage of to justify and reinforce even greater military involvement.

It’s our duty to prevent this from happening. We must not allow fear to be used as a

motivator towards greater death and loss.

We should consider the loss Cpl. Cirillo’s family has suffered, the losses our own families have suffered in conflicts, and whether more of this kind of loss and grief is worth a little more peace of mind.

Despite ‘bendgate,’ new iPhones are a success for Apple Eaton Centre Apple store sells out minutes after opening its doors ANEESA MUSTAPHA STAFF REPORTER

As has become customary for Apple enthusiasts, September means the release of a new iPhone since the release of its first generation iPhones in 2007.

On Sept. 19 Apple released its eighth generation of iPhones: the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus.

These two new phones marked the first significant changes in screen size since the iPhone 5.

The iPhone 6 is 4.7 inches with a 6.9 mm thickness and the iPhone 6 plus is 5.5 inches with a 7.1 mm thickness. Both are equipped with a new A8 chip, an M8 motion coprocessor, Touch ID, faster LTE wireless, an 8MP iSight camera with Focus Pixels, and iOS 8.

The price for the iPhone 6 starts at $749 and the iPhone6 plus starts at $859. The phone was sold out at the Eaton Centre Apple store location by 7 a.m. as staff took orders from people in line before doors opened at 8 a.m.

Four Li, a second-year graphic design student and part time employee at the St. James computer store says “I would continue to support Apple, I really like iCloud,

it makes my life so much easier but I won’t upgrade to the iPhone 6 because it’s too big, it’s overpriced and the specs of my phone, the iPhone 4S is enough for me.”

Thousands of people lined up at Apple stores across Canada to get their hands on the new phone the first day they became available at retail stores, but not every tech fan left happy.

The new phones, which haven’t even been out a month, have already hit record sales for the tech giant with equally impressive sales of accessories for the new phones.

Apple had high hopes of capturing some of their competitor’s customers by increasing the screen size of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus but many people were not amused.

“I used to have an iPhone 5S, now I’m using a Samsung S5,” said Darren Feng, the store supervisor at the St. James computer store. “I don’t like iPhones anymore because it’s overpriced, it’s very limited to usability and overall it doesn’t give me the flexibility and the openness of doing what I want to do on my device. I converted my family and everybody from iPad, iPhone, Mac to all Samsung and PC devices and now they’re much happier.”

He also added “There’s a lot of choices of different kinds of phones and my phone is waterproof so I can drop in the water. You don’t have to worry about dropping your phone in water or a drain, you can just pick

it up and clean it up. I even answer my phone when I’m in the shower, so I don’t have to worry about waiting until I finish my shower so I can text message. iPhones just don’t have those kinds of features.”

Apple also suffered major criticism over the bendability of the new phones, dubbed

“bendgate.” Social media and online forums have been abuzz with comments about how the new phones can bend when placed in back pockets or while wearing skinny jeans. “I don’t think I would want to spend over $1000 on a phone that would bend,” said Feng.

Beware of confusing credit card terms Business administration graduate decodes the truth behind credit card hype MAVERICK SMITH STAFF REPORTER

Responsibility, expenses, and debt. These grim words are not ones that people usually associate with credit cards, understandable because booths and commercials who setup to sell credit cards, base their advertising platforms around buzzwords like benefits, rewards, and convenience rather than the sombre terms stated above.

Rather than be swayed by the slick advertisements, first-time credit card buyers should think carefully before they sign an agreement to add another slim piece of plastic to their wallet.

“A credit card should be viewed as a responsibility. It should only be used for everyday purchases, or larger purchases such as a TV (that you already have been saving for in your bank account), and have the money for the purchase ready to pay off your credit10

card bill at the end of the month,” explains Cameron Smith, an honours bachelor of business administration graduate. “If you do not pay off your balance on the monthly statement, at the end of every month, you are putting yourself into debt which will escalate as interest accumulates.”

Interest is an odd English word that has a number of different meanings, and in the context of financial transactions, Smith says that, “interest is what credit-card companies charge when you do not pay off the balance owing on your monthly statement in its entirety.”

Offering a real-life example Smith says, “when you get your monthly statement it will tell you the total balance owing, as well as a minimum balance payable. You should always pay the total balance owing or else the credit-card company will start charging you interest on the remaining balance.”

Another technical term used by credit-card companies is a credit limit; Smith cautions against reaching this limit, doing so by saying that, “just because you have a maximum limit does not mean you ever have to reach it. Only put on what you can pay off every month.”

Too many Canadians are neglecting these basic credit fundamentals and the consequences are troubling.

According to credit monitoring agency TransUnion, at the end of 2013 the average Canadian consumer was struggling under a personal debt of $27,368, a level which this monitoring agency believes will continue to rise.

As for the rewards and benefits creditcard providers claim to be able to provide clients, Smith urges people not to be sucked in by such offers, and says, “lots of credit cards come with reward or travel programs, and these programs give you points for every dollar purchased on them. However, it can take years for these points to build up until they are redeemable for a reward.”

In the meantime, Smith says the problem is that annual fees on a reward card can be $40 a year, for a travel card they can be $120 or more.

Ultimately for all credit-card holders, and especially cash-strapped students, Smith believes, “if you are not paying off your total balance owing at the end of every month, you need to take a step back and look at your spending habits and if having a credit card is right for you.”

GBC looks to partner with Irish art and design school A letter of intent between GBC and the IADT hopes to create degree partnership MAVERICK SMITH STAFF REPORTER

For students at George Brown the world of post-secondary education just got a little smaller.

On Oct. 1, George Brown College (GBC) signed a letter of intent with the Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology (IADT) in Dublin, Ireland.

As described on the IADT website, “the purpose of this letter of intent is to establish the foundation for a joint exploration of opportunities for collaboration between the two institutions.”

According to GBC’s website, Laura Jo Gunter, senior vice president of academic said, “our institutions share the same commitment to student success. We too are committed to supplying well educated graduates to the creative and cultural industries. This collaboration with IADT will offer our students new and exciting opportunities to (compliment) their learning on a global level.”

Across the ocean, the president of IADT, Doctor Annie Doona, expresses similar sentiments saying, “IADT recognizes the importance of international collaboration and its contribution to education. We are delighted to be signing this letter of intent with George Brown College and will be looking for collaboration opportunities across many areas.”

According to Doona, one of the possible areas of focus for the future could be design, explaining that “given that the year

of design in Ireland will take place in 2015, collaborations in this area will be particularly timely.”

This letter of intent is builds off the partnership between Colleges Ontario,

who represents the 24 public colleges in Ontario, and the Institutes of Technology Ireland (IOTI); this allows two-year diploma graduates to get an honours degree with two years of study in Ireland. in some

cases graduates of three-year programs can complete the degree in only one year.

Applications are currently being accepted from Colleges Ontario graduates, and must be submitted by May 31 for entry in September.

New degree partnership with Neumann University Technical training grads can get an accelerated bachelor of science degree TINA TODARO ASSISTANT EDITOR

George Brown College (GBC) and Neumann University in Philadelphia are now offering distance-education graduates from technical training programs at GBC, the opportunity to pursue further studies towards a bachelor of science (B.Sc.) degree at Neumann.

“George Brown College and Neumann University share a deep commitment to helping adults finish their college educations,” said Jilian Donnelly, Neumann University’s direc-

tor of virtual learning via email. “This agreement allows George Brown to offer alternative pathways to its graduates, and allow Neumann to expand its enrolment with another unique population of adult learners.”

Providing a direct pathway for graduates of the distance education-based technical training programs, according to GBC’s technical training website, students who have completed their electronics engineering technician diploma can continue on into Neumann University’s accelerated B.Sc. degree program.

This collaboration will allow GBC graduates to complete a degree and students at both schools will benefit according to Donnelly, saying “typically, graduates of technical programs, such as those offered by George Brown College, experience difficulty applying their degrees to-

ward a baccalaureate program that will honour all of the hard work, and cache of credits, that they bring with them.”

“It provides a very attractive university pathway for our electronics and PLC students to pursue a B.Sc. degree. Many students have this goal in mind right from the beginning of their search for higher education training,” said Scott Duncan, manager of business development at GBC. “The college benefits by the fact that we can attract more students into our programs, based on the advantage that having the pathway provides us over other college’s competing options.”

All courses for this pathway to a degree are offered online for GBC students as well as Neumann students, and allow students to balance their schedules while earning their degree.

With Neumann being specialized in “assisting adults with unique learning backgrounds for 40 years,” said Donnelly, the university “has options that can utilize the prior learning experiences of these learners and open the door for degree completion.”

The new B.Sc. degree is officially available to technical training program graduates, and as Duncan says, “this agreement is definitely intended to be long-term,” offering both current and future students the same higher-learning opportunity.

If students require more information, they can contact Angelo Vouloukos at 416-415-5000 extension 4726 or avoulouk@georgebrown.ca.

Chef Alain Ducasse welcomed by GBC Centre for hospitality and culinary arts partners with Alain Ducasse’s Education DEEPTI BATRA STAFF REPORTER

On Oct. 15 the chef school was honoured by Michelin-starred chef Alain Ducasse on his first visit to Toronto. The event ended with the centre for hospitality and culinary arts (CHCA) signing a partnership with chef Alain Ducasse’s Education (ADE) school for a post-graduate patisserie course in France.

Lorraine Trotter, dean of the CHCA, chef John Higgins, Alison Fryer, a George Brown professor and chef Inniss, along with faculty members and students—all dressed in white chef uniforms, welcomed Ducasse with exuberating warmth and zest.

The chef school was full of enthusiasm and thrilled for three days, hosting events in honour of Ducasse’s immeasurable contribution to French cuisine on an international level.

The first evening was hosted at the chef school by chef Chuck Hughes, a FrenchCanadian chef, television personality and restaurateur, aptly represented the students with passion, diligence, and motivation.

An entrepreneur himself, Hughes lead an open conversation with Ducasse, the audience

was mesmerized while watching these high achievers speak and share their thoughts.

Sean Van Wert, a translator for the event, played an important role as he translated, with precision, Ducasse’s French expressions and experiences to English.

The splendid experience for guests was heightened by an elaborate spread of cheeses and wines. Guests enjoyed food and beverages served at the right temperature and in the most professional way by current students from the chef school.

No one was complaining about the long lineups for the book signing as there was fine food and good aromas all around. At the end of the lineup were the tycoons of the culinary world, there to autograph their culinary keepsakes and cookbooks.

The second day in honour of Ducasse, the chef school hosted the french culinary market where noted chefs and culinary artisans from across the city of Toronto laid-out elaborate, yet elegant food and beverage samples for guests.

Ducasse interacted with participating chefs, artisans and students, and encouraged all of them through kind and gentle compliments.

The focus of the evening was international level French cuisine, and for the evenings finale there was something that indeed left the students, staff and future culinary students, with a sweet aftertaste.

George Brown College’s president Anne Sado and Trotter announced the alliance between the ADE and the CHCA. Beginning in spring 2015, the CHCA along with ADE’s celebrated pastry and bakery school, École Nationale Supérieure de Pâtisserie (ENSP), will offer a three-semester advanced french patisserie post-graduate program covering areas such as chocolate confection, savoury baking, regional cheeses and artisan breads.

For this occasion, Ducasse said, “in George Brown’s centre for hospitality and culinary arts, we have found an educational partner that shares our vision of top-quality learning and output, and international training. I have high expectations for this partnership and look forward to collaborating with George Brown on other education-related initiatives in the months and years to come.”

Trotter shared how thrilled they are to be able to offer this program with ENSP saying, “this is a win-win situation,” and that ENSP will benefit from having the opportunity to teach George Brown’s highly motivated and skilled students.

When students have finished their studies and placements in France, Trotter also says that “the students will return to George Brown with much stronger skills, a richer understanding of local and sustainable ways of working, and the international experience much sought after by industry.”

Preheat oven to 400°F. Wash pumpkin and remove the stem and half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and season the halves with kosher salt.

Place the pumpkin flesh side down onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 1.5 to 2 hours until the flesh can be easily pierced with a knife.

When cool, scoop the flesh out of the skin into a food processor and blend until it appears smooth, then add brown sugar.

Peel carrots and cut them into a 5 mm dice, place them in bowl, season them with salt, and toss them in olive oil.

Spread one layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake it until slightly browned. Add allspice, dried ginger and cinnamon in a spice grinder.

Melt butter on medium heat until it foams. Dice shallots into 3mm cubes, add to butter. Season and cook until translucent, adding ground spices and minced garlic cloves; grate nutmeg and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until garlic isn’t raw and the spices become fragrant.

Add pumpkin and carrots and cook until they are heated through; add cream and chicken stock and blending until smooth. Turn heat to low and simmer for 30-40 minutes, then add stock, cream or water as needed.

Cut bread into a 4mm dice. Place into a bowl, season with kosher salt and toss in olive olive. Place in a single layer on a parchment paper lined baking tray and toast until golden brown. You may have to toss the pan to ensure even toasting.

Add freshly cracked black peppercorns, top the soup with croutons, a drizzle of olive oil, and the tops of thyme sprigs.

Students learn on the job at new café GBC students gain practical experience at the studentrun café at 300 Adelaide E. DORA LIU STAFF REPORTER

George Brown College’s (GBC) brand new student run café is under strict control by chef John Higgins, the director of chef school. Chef Higgins was trained and has served in Buckingham Palace and Michelin-starred restaurants before.

On the opening day, Oct. 17, chef Higgins led his management team: Heather Dyer, the dining room, catering and event manager for GBC and The Chefs House, chef Stuart Betteridge certified chef de cuisine (C.C.C), and chef Kyle Deming. They all kept all their eyes on every detail in the café.

Chef Higgins believed they took the café seriously saying, “it is the first cafe run by the students at George Brown. It is not only a cafe but also a place for their internships.”

“This is (the café) exactly the same as industries. Our expectations are no different than anybody else in the industry,” said chef Betteridge.

The café’s selling point is that everything is home-made. This means that all the food, including pastas, pies, pizzas, and even the sauces, dressings, condiments, stocks and jams are all made freshly every day by students.

The recipes were designed by the chef school’s faculty and professors.

“We did a lot of research. We went outside to visit colleges, the Eaton Centre and food courts downtown to see what they are doing,” said chef Betteridge. “After that, we tried to make it in a Torontonian style.”

They have weekly features such as a pork feature that will bring out two or three different pork dishes: Spanish pork steak, French meatloaf and Chinese dumplings.

“Hot plate, vegetarian, and meat dishes will be provided at every breakfast and lunch,” said chef Higgins.

The students come from the second year of the culinary management integrated learning and hospitality, and tourism and leisure programs. They will take turns working in every position of the café.

“They have to know the needs from all the positions, from the back of the kitchen to the front serving counter,” said chef Higgins.

The students don’t get paid, but they will earn credits they can put towards their program when they pass this internship. They will work 24 hours a week, which will last for seven to 14 weeks.

“The only challenge for me is we need to arrive at 6:30 in the morning,” said Hansi Weerasinghe, a student at GBC. “I really feel happy at this job because the professors are rigid, but very nice. I learned a lot of from them.”

Students can find this new café on the second floor of the St. James campus, building B at 300 Adelaide Street East. It runs from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m..

Cash and cards are welcome.

Movember continues to support men’s health ANEESA MUSTAPHA STAFF REPORTER

Grow your ‘stache for cash. Men at George Brown College can now put down the razors and ditch the barber this month for a good cause.

Beginning Nov. 1, “Mo Bros” across the country will once again start raising awareness and funds by growing out their moustache for prostate and testicular cancer research and men’s mental health issues.

The movement, which originated in Melbourne, Australia in 2003, encourages men to grow their moustache for cash.

This will be the hairy movement’s eighth year in Canada and twelfth globally. In 2013, Canada admirably raised more money than any other country in the world with an incredible $33.9 million.

“I’m all for the movement,” said Mansoor Hashemi, a second year marketing student. “I think many men get really lazy in the winter keeping up their grooming routine, and this is a great excuse not to shave and it’s for a good cause.”

The movement has become a hit among colleges and universities such as the University of Toronto, Dalhousie University, and Humber College. Students get involved, recruit other students and staff, and hang posters around campus with the ultimate goal of raising awareness and increasing donations.

“I think George Brown should get involved, it’s a fun movement for a good cause and I think seeing guys walking around school with moustaches would not only be funny, but it would raise awareness because by talking to their friends or classmates, it would spread the word about the movement,” said Hashemi.

Before Nov. 1, anyone can sign up at movember.com to lend their name and their support to the campaign. Then, on Nov. 1, men will start with a clean-shaven face and grow their moustache for 30 days while getting friends, family and colleagues to join their team and donate to their mo-growing efforts.

The campaign, which strives not to exclude women or “Mo Sistas,” encourages them to sign up as team captains and recruit men to their teams, as well as getting the men in their lives to take action when it comes to their health.

Long distance love: a shared struggle GBC student shares her story of long distance relationship commitment YULIYA PRISYAZHNAYA People in long term relationships have to ask themselves: Does it feel right? Is it with the right person? Do I want to lose everything because of small things?

“So Gabriel and I were together for one year before he moved back to Panama,” said Allison Jokinen, a student in the special events planning program, about her her boyfriend Gabriel.

The couple met in 2012 at a club in Toronto. A club was the last place she ever thought she would meet someone.

“He was just so charming and sweet,” said Jokinen.

Falling in love shortly afterward, they were inseparable until he moved back to Panama City in August 2013, where he now lives with his family.

“Being in a long distance relationship, at first was really hard, it is still really hard but we have a good routine and we understand that the other person may be busy at times but it doesn’t mean they aren’t thinking of you,” said Jokinen.

One of the most important parts is that Jokinen and Gabriel are goal oriented both as individuals and as a couple.

“Communication is key. Gabriel and I are in constant communication all day every day and I am so grateful for FaceTime, Skype, WhatsApp and social media that helps keep us connected,” said Jokinen, on what keeps their relationship

strong. “I couldn’t imagine being in a long distance relationship without him being at the tip of my fingers.”

Jokinen said she feels best when she is busy—keeping her mind off the distance—and when she gets home from a busy day, the first thing she wants to do is call Gabriel and tell him everything she’s accomplished knowing he will do the same.

“When we know the exact date of when we will see each other next I will always have a countdown set on my phone and every day that passes is just another day closer,” said Jokinen. “It is really important to encourage the other person in their personal lives to do their best in work and school and to still go out and have fun with their friends.”

With him not being here physically during stressful times, she says he is still there supporting her, knowing she can always count on him to be her rock through every situation.

“He mentally guides me through every single bump in the road,” said Jokinen. “As much as I wish he could just be here to hug me or give me a kiss on the head when I am down, his words are always enough and he always knows just what to say.”

The couples’ next goal is for Jokinen to take a trip to Panama in January, during her study break. She’s already set the countdown on her phone and keeps checking how many days left.

Next year the couple hopes to live together at the same place, permanently and believes that “a relationship should be a support system of trust and encouragement. If you focus on those things, the rest isn’t so hard.”
