Douglas College student gives birth in classroom
NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C. (CUP) – Nursing student Haddy Saal-Keita gave birth to a baby girl during her English midterm exam late last month.
The Douglas College student began labour pains only minutes after the exam began on Feb. 27. Instructor Jill MacLachlan quickly alerted security, who then called paramedics to the scene.
Two students stayed inside the room to give Saal-Keita support until the paramedics arrived. Born inside the classroom, the baby’s umbilical cord had to be tied off by a student’s shoelace, and the baby was then wrapped in a coat.
Saal-Keita and her newborn daughter were featured on the front page of The Province newspaper.
Bomb squad called to
Ryerson
TORONTO (CUP) – The bomb squad was called to Ryerson University on March 15 after a bomb threat was phoned into the cafeteria. Ryerson security was alerted after an anonymous phone call was placed on a public phone in the hallways of the cafeteria.
The caller claimed a bomb had been placed in the area. Toronto Police were called to investigate and found a box full of circuit boards and batteries, which appeared to be a disassembled robot.
The area was quickly evacuated, and the Emergency Task Force bomb disposal unit was deployed. They quickly found the box to be harmless. It was later determined the box was not related to the bomb threat and was seen as a likely coincidence.
