"A Play: Uphill Both Ways"

A play by students, about students, for students and features a series of vignettes that each deal with an issue of importance to people of that age group. There is a piece about racism, about how technology has changed in their lives (Facebook, cell phones, iPods, etc.), about first sexual encounters, language (distinctly Montreal), body image, politics, student activism. It's a real snapshot of where that age group is today. A real eye-opener about the things that are important to them.

This event was hosted by CBC Radio One's Ann Lang. Listen here.

Time:
Monday and Tuesday, October 6th-7th, 8: 00pm.

Location:
Dawson Theatre, 2000 Atwater.

"Depression and Awareness Day"

Students helping students: Third year students from the Special Care Counselling Program will host a booth where students can get information on depression, be screened for depression and anxiety, and meet with counsellors from the Counselling Centre. Depression still has an important stigma attached to it, yet it is a serious problem among students whose grades, performance, and life can be affected by depression and despondency. Depression Awareness Day is aimed at reducing the stigma attached to emotional illness and informing students about where to get help.

Time:
Tuesday, October 7th, 10:00am-2:00pm.

Location:
Vanier College, Carrefour and Student Mall.
821 avenue Sainte-Croix
Saint-Laurent, QC H4L 3X6.
