After claims of sexual misconduct surfaced against Student Association President Howard Brookins and at least a dozen SA cabinet members have left the organization since December, uncertainty remains over Brookins’ future in the role as calls for his resignation mount.
In a series of tweets published Friday evening, a female student said Brookins touched her without her consent and “crossed clearly set boundaries” throughout their friendship. That evening, three of the remaining cabinet members wrote a letter calling for Brookins to step down.

A retired Winnipeg nurse is celebrating an answer to prayer as she moves in supplies to a donated storage unit for her future OCC shoeboxes.
Packing shoeboxes for children around the world has become a huge passion for Barbara Shumeley. She initially started packing Operation Christmas Child (OCC) shoeboxes roughly 15 years ago, starting with a few each year.
Then when Shumeley retired, she ramped up the packing to hundreds of boxes a year. I was running what really did become an enterprise, out of my home, says Shumeley. With her husband s declining health, she knew that her home simply wouldn t work to store all the products and boxes throughout the year anymore.
