Stephanie Sim
Steph is a second-year student at McGill University, who splits her time outside of Montreal equally between the sunshine of Texas and the snow-capped Rockies of Alberta. When not studying or writing blog posts she enjoys making home films of her friends and their adventures, creating a ridiculous amount playlists on Spotify, or binge-watching Jamie Oliver's cooking channel (all with endless cups of coffee in hand).
Follow her personal blog for sporadic posts and videos about the current state of her life, her Spotify for playlists that can apply to every aspect of life, her Instagram for up-to-date snapshots of what she's doing, and her Twitter for pictures of cute pups and other relevant, overcaffeinated content.

They Live on Through Our Remembering: The Centenary of WWI
The red flowers began appearing on lapels last Wednesday, October 25th when the official poppy distribution began. While this annual tradition is nothing out of the ordinary for Canadians it holds even more significance this year with the mark of 100 years since the end of The Great War.
