CANORA - Canora Composite School welcomed students back to class on Sept. 5. CCS greeted previous students as well as many new Grade 5 students ready to begin their stay at Canora’s high school.
On Sept. 12, Canora Composite’s School Representative Council hosted an assembly welcoming new students and new teachers. During the assembly, the new crop of Grade 5s paired up with the Grade 12s in a challenge where both players had to eat a fruit rollup using no hands in the fastest possible time. The Grade 5s would start and only once their mouth was empty, the Grade 12s could eat their fruit rollup. The top three pairs were to win a pizza party, however there ended up being two-way tie for third place, which meant there were four winning teams. The winners were Jack Craig & Drew Kitchen, Porter Wolkowski & Logan Menton, Owen Borson & Quinn Crane, and Ty Baillie & Autumn O’Soup. The assembly was considered a success by organizers.
Global Stories Of The Week
On Sept. 15 at around 11 p.m, a powerful 6.8 magnitude earthquake struck Morocco. The epicenter was near the city of Marrakesh. According to CTV News, the quake killed 2,800 and displaced hundreds. The tremor damaged historic buildings in the country’s Atlas mountains.
Two days after the Moroccan tragedy, the North African country of Libya was struck by powerful Storm Daniel. The storm brought intense rain to the region. Daniel’s deadly force led to the collapse of two dams that caused disastrous flash flooding in the Libyan port city of Derna. According to CTV News, the death toll was standing at over 11,000 with countless more still missing. Hundreds of bodies were forced to be buried in mass graves. An investigation was opened into how human negligence and recklessness played a role in the disaster. According to CTV National News correspondent Judy Trinh, “The investigation was launched after Libya’s prime minister admitted the dams may not have been properly maintained”. Libya is known for having dangerous terrorist groups, making emergency aid relief missions risky.
