Trinity Western University continued its administrative shuffle this January, with an abundance of promotions and reconfigurations taking place in the university’s highest office. After a major restructuring last fall under the guidance of then-new president Jonathan Raymond, more minor tweaking has continued into his second year.
“The university will always be adjusting,” said Raymond, commenting on the changes.

Montreal filmmaker creates online home for homeless
MONTREAL (CUP) - Homelessnation.org originated in Montreal but has since become a national forum for Canada’s street people, providing them not only with a voice, but an opportunity to connect with each other and with homeless advocacy groups.
Montreal filmmaker Daniel Cross’s 1997 release, The Street, aimed to relay the stories of Canada’s itinerant urban population. But five years ago, he realized that film is an inadequate medium to convey his extensive research.
