Current Canadian women’s national soccer team captain Christine Sinclair and former national team member Diana Matheson earlier this month announced plans for an eight-team Canadian women’s pro soccer league. The video game introduced women’s national team rosters for the first time in NHL ‘22. Former Canadian women’s hockey superstar Angela James became a co-owner of the PHF’s Toronto Six earlier this year.

More disturbingly, the Twitter account for Mastodon, a software development company making social media software, has been suspended altogether. I’ve been studying the fediverse for years, and many fediverse sites are well-moderated social media systems that are free of harmful content such as hate speech, disinformation and manipulative advertising.

I’d discovered a few weeks earlier that my future husband, the eldest of three siblings, was still taking mall photos with Santa Claus. At some point the larger family photos stopped, but our family has continued the tradition, documenting our own three children over the last decade. Sadly, for us and everyone else, there were no Santa photos in December 2020.

But with the cost of living on the rise, the 27-year-old is getting creative. The balancing act — between impressing a potential sweetheart and staying on budget (without coming across as cheap) — has always been a part of dating. Casual dates gain popularityThe trend away from "fancy" dates and toward more casual ones has shown up in Bree Woolard's dating life this year.

The Holy Heart Chamber Choir at rehearsal earlier this month. (Jeremy Eaton/CBC - image credit)Holy Heart of Mary High School's chamber choir cracked the top 10 of CBC Music Canadian Class Challenge — and the experience helped the students come out of their shells, says the choral director. After a few years of on-again, off-again, online learning, Robert Colbourne said he noticed his choir seemed a little flat. "There was a certain amount of hesitancy among the students," Colbourne said in a recent interview. Holy Heart is no stranger to the challenge, having won their categories in 2017, 2019 and in 2020.
