FREE MONEY

Free education is unheard of in BC but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to attain one. Scholarships and bursaries are some of the resources that could be used by students to get their tuition partly paid for or fully waived. Students only need to apply for one as they are completely non-repayable, unlike student loans. […]

CAP SIZED

On April 11, the Capilano Student’s Union (CSU) is taking its usual year end jubilations and cranking it up with a yacht party called Rock the Boat. This is a big step up from its previous efforts that include limo rentals and club nights. “We wanted to do something that this campus has never seen […]

STUDENT VOICES SET TO IMPROVE THE CAMPUS

Relationships between many university heads and their student population are often non-existent or tense at best because most of the decisions made by university executives have an impact on students. Capilano University President, Kris Bulcroft has decided to consult students in her decision-making process through an initiative she calls Student Voices. Student Voices is a […]

HOUSING HURDLES

Capilano University’s facilities are expanding but the one thing that the school will not be getting anytime soon is campus housing. Of the Lower Mainland’s five universities, only University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University have campus residences, while Kwantlen, CapU and University of the Fraser Valley do not. Since CapU’s influence is growing […]

INCOMPLETE CSU BOARD OF DIRECTORS

with No Comments

From Feb. 2 to 5, the Capilano Students Union (CSU) held elections to fill its various board and coordinator positions for the 2015-2016 academic year. Many positions were contested and filled, but many others weren’t, including the student representative positions for both the Squamish and Sunshine Coast campuses of Capilano University. Though the CSU is […]

A MISGUIDED GUIDE TO FRIED CHICKEN

by Kevin Kapenda, Therese Guieb on February 27, 2015

Evidently, the Courier employs people who love eating very much, and all sorts of food, too. In an absolute stroke of coincidence, we found out that our News Editor, Therese Guieb, and our resident Political Columnist, Kevin Kapenda – who, by the way, has semi-full intentions of becoming a rapper under the name Rhyme Minister […]

HUMANS OF TINDER

The toughest thing about finding a boyfriend is admitting it’s not actually too tough to find one. Honestly, there are so many desperate dudes awaiting your reply, who would happily lay down their balls before you – they’re just a calculated swipe away. They want a girlfriend so badly that they will date just about […]

CAPILANO RAIL JAM

Every year, Capilano University’s library courtyard becomes home to a makeshift ski and snowboard course. By hauling in snow from the peaks of Grouse Mountain, students from the Capilano Students’ Union (CSU) and many other volunteers are able to organize the Uncapped Rail Jam – an in-house ski and snowboarding event that not only spotlights […]

FILMING IN PROGRESS

This weekend, budding high school students and their parents will converge on campus to attend an open house held by the School of Motion Picture Arts (MOPA) and learn more about the programs offered by it. Home to the country’s best filmmaking equipment and animation technology, this will be the perfect opportunity to show off […]

UNLEASHING THE PERFORMING ARTS

with No Comments

Since the late 1980s, two organizations named FACTOR and Canada Council have helped fund the careers of many musicians all throughout Canada by providing grants and awards. Both FACTOR and Canada Council are located in Toronto and work with other companies such as Regional Education Coordinators (REC) and the Public Lending Library to further promote […]

EXPERIENCE VANCOUVER

When a community is vibrant, unique events demonstrating the plurality of personalities begin to take growth. The events are as diverse as the personalities that create them and are a reflection of the values that went into their creation. Vancouver is one of these communities. In the plethora of events displaying such originality, amongst them […]

A GHOST IN A DYING MACHINE
27 Feb 2015

In Grade Eight, when elective sign-ups popped up all over my high school, I decided to join band. Music was something I figured I could […]

THE PENALTY BOX

There are not very many days in the NHL season that generate as much excitement and anticipation as the trade deadline. This year’s big day […]

THE TIME TRAVELLER
27 Feb 2015

Besides natural phenomena, what attracts tourists to a city such as Vancouver? It might be the evolution of the city’s architecture along the Burrard Inlet, […]

HEAD SHOTS

I don’t remember my first concussion. I remember flying down a hill on my toboggan, seeing some overhanging branches and wondering what was going to be behind them. My next memory is lying face up in the snow with people staring over me. Those are my only two memories from that day. It was pretty […]

KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY STACK

by Christine Beyleveldt, Elena Boycheva, Gabriel Scorgie, Sarah Unger on February 26, 2015
with No Comments

Whether it’s for a vacation, a tattoo or to impress that stripper you’ve been seeing with a fat stack of converted $1 bills, everybody has a reason to save money. Personally, I’m trying to save up to go to Belgium with a stripper I’ve been seeing and honestly, it isn’t going so well. I’ve learned […]

THE STRANGE CASE OF THE ROBOT HOTEL

by Steve Tornes on February 26, 2015
with No Comments

Soon it will be possible to visit a hotel staffed by robots. A Japanese hotel named Henn-na Hotel, translated as “Strange Hotel”, is opening on July 17 and will be a clear designation that we are living in a future once reserved for fiction. It’s tempting to say that these hotel robots are a representation […]

BENT BY ELEPHANTS
by Andy Rice on February 25, 2015

Montreal band Bent By Elephants released their “highly-anticipated sophomore LP” The Shore on Feb. 17. Unfortunately, the album doesn’t show anywhere near the promise and originality of the band’s 2010 debut, This Is Water. Where the latter found its stride in orchestral and experimental textures, The Shore seems to rest on its laurels. As a […]

CHRISTINA MARTIN
by Leah Scheitel on February 25, 2015

Singer-songwriter Christina Martin’s new album, It’ll Be Alright, is channeling some major Dolly Parton inspiration. The 10-track LP, released on Come Undone Records, is her fifth release, following 2012’s Sleeping with a Stranger. At first listen, the album sounds like a collection of love ballads from a scorned woman – again à la Mrs. Parton. […]

DRAKE
by Carlo Javier on February 25, 2015

Although he did drop the popular single “0 to 100/The Catch Up”, Drake has primarily spent the past year taking a backseat to the younger artists of OVO Sound. Canada’s crown prince has kept it relatively quiet, despite appearing in hits like “Tuesday” by ILoveMakonnen and “Recognize” by PartyNextDoor. However, in one fell swoop, Drake […]
