RECONCILIATION AND EDUCATION
This really is a story of hope to move on and continue on.
This agreement with SFU symbolizes a significant shift in our relationship, one that is based on mutual respect, true inclusivity, and collaboration.
CIRCLING FOR THE FUTURE
Mechanisms for tracking accountability on driving truth and reconciliation need to be put in place.

Dear Peakie,
The other day, my friend asked me to close the blinds, revealing a very embarrassing truth about myself. I don’t know how blinds work. And can you blame me? Multiple cords are involved, and that stick thing that you twist, apparently??? Blinds are a medieval contraption I have yet to demystify. How do I hide my secret?
Sincerely, Confused by Blinds
Dear Confused by Blinds,
This might signify that the time has come to pick up a tired but true skill necessary to spare you some embarrassment. You might be thinking, “Oh, Peakie, you’re so smart. Of course, you know how to close the blinds! It comes naturally to you!” And alas, reader, you are not wrong.
Nevertheless, my trials and tribulations are not important here. The next time you are home alone, you have to practice! Yank at the strings, pull at the blinds to manually open them if you must! See how they work by breaking down the mechanics one piece at a time. And if all else fails, it might be time to invest in some curtains.
Warmly, Peakie
Dear Peakie,
My sister used MY fork. I spent years walking through the IKEAs, Bed Bath and Beyonds, and Costcos of the world, looking for my ideal fork. It needed to be pointy enough, provide excellent mouthfeel, and double as a comb. Needless to say, it is one of my most treasured possessions. So, why did I come home to my sister sloppily stabbing her gnocchi with it?! She’s saying I’m overreacting, but you’re on my side, right?
Sincerely, Get the Fork Away From My Utensils
Dear Get the Fork Away From My Utensils, Ah, this letter impacts me on a personal level. Okay, pull yourself together, Peakie. I hate to go on about my own experiences when giving advice, but this hits too close to home. Oh, what the heck. I’ll tell you my story.
When I was a child, my younger brother would use my favourite cereal spoon in EVERYTHING. A spoon meant for CEREAL does not belong in a bowl of Kraft Dinner (did I mention I loathe Kraft Dinner?). The point is, you’ve got to protect what belongs to you. When I finally moved out, I purchased a special set of monogrammed utensils. I keep them in a locked safe where my roommates will never find them. As much as it pains me to eat with regular cutlery, it needs to be done so no one will discover my secret set.
Thinking of you, Peakie
Dear Peakie,
I don’t need your advice; I need your help. Yesterday, I got ghosted by not one but TWO buses. I watched patiently as the minutes to the scheduled arrival of my bus went by on Apple Maps. With one minute left, I carefully took my U-Pass out of my wallet so it would be ready for that tapping action. But the bus never came, and I had to resort to old-school transportation technology: my legs. Will you meet me at my secret lab where we can work on top-secret teleportation technology, so I’m never stranded again?
Sincerely, Teleporters Against TransLink
Dear Teleporters Against TransLink,
Unfortunately, I cannot meet you. It would be a violation of both my privacy and yours. I’m sure you can understand. But let’s think about this logically. Of course, you can’t Uber around this city economically, and with rising gas prices, it’s no surprise that taking transit is your best option. Hmm. Yes, well, I never thought I would say this, but I am a little stumped. Fortunately, having my own driver, I don’t need to worry about these things . . .
I hear those electric scooters are quite fashionable these days. It’s not quite a teleportation device, but you’ll be zooming down the mountain in no time! And, if you see the bus, you can scoot on right over to it! Gosh, I’m brilliant!
Best wishes, Peakie
October 3-8
Aries
March 21–April 19
Alright, Aries, it’s time to get your head in the game and narrow down this roster. You’ve been scouting all summer, and it’s time to start hosting tryouts. Playoffs are just around the corner. Since you’ve already drafted your top picks, make sure your game is strong enough to take you to the championships.
Cancer
June 21–July 22
The stars are speaking to me telling me to deliver you a message. They’re saying, “get your money up, not your funny up.” Forget that weird ex that broke your heart — it’s time to be in your bag. As the months get colder, instead of running to somebody’s arms, try burning some of that cold, hard cash to stay warm, and we promise you’ll feel better.
Libra
September 23–October 22
Go ahead and post those insufferably cute pics of you and your bae that make the rest of us want to throw up. Your matching Halloween costumes and rainy day movie nights are giving cringy millennial couple, but it’s okay because we’re all just jealous.
Capricorn
December 22–January 19
This is a shameless ad calling all Capricorns. I am single, and it’s cold out. Your hard-working mentality and calm, grounded attitude are exactly what I’m looking for as exam season threatens to make me pull all my hair out. You’d still love me if I was bald or a worm, right? Call me.
Taurus April 20–May 20
Oh, Taurus, we know cuffing season can be rough. This week, try not to sweat the big stuff. You’re going to be in the gym, practicing self-love, and showing the world you’re committed to you. Just stay clear of those rom-com clips that keep popping up on your TikTok feed.
Leo July 23–August 22
My ear to the ground says cuffing season might be a little cliché, and with your trailblazer attitude and individualism, why don’t you try what the kids are calling “feral girl fall.” I saw the term on Twitter. It’s up to you to decipher what that means.
Scorpio
October 23–November 21
No more watching movies late at night with Tinder dates you’ll never see again. From now on, you’ll go to museums, aquariums, and cute brunch places with Tinder dates you’ll never see again to make sure you’ve farmed enough soft-launch content to last a lifetime.
Aquarius
January 20–February 18
Your best friend is tired of hearing about that one person you swore you’d block, Aquarius. Getting a text at 11:00 p.m. is NOT a sign from the stars. That wasn’t even a situationship; it was a deceptionship. You’re better than this.
Gemini
May 21–June 20
Alright, tough guy, hot girl summer is over. The stars are saying this cuffing season, it’s time to clear the roster and focus on what matters to you, whether it’s that super cool book you think will make you more mysterious or that three-page paper you have due next week.
Virgo
August 23–September 22
You’ve seen all the romantic propaganda, and you aren’t fooled. We all know cute couples’ activities are a government conspiracy to stimulate the pumpkin patch economy. Make sure to tell all the happy couples in your life that you’re above it all because you’re so enlightened.
Sagittarius
November 22–December 21
Hey, hot stuff. You don’t need any dating advice; you’re the cuffing champion. A Sagittarius knows the perfect combination of telling you that you have a nice ass and spinning you away to talk about life under the stars.
Pisces
February 19–March 20
Now for you, Pisces, the stars seem to want to encourage a little bit of that delulu energy. Did they leave you on delivered for three days but view your story? They’re just working up the courage to confess their love.
