Sexual assault at Kwantlen Polytechnic University

[RICHMOND] – A 24-year-old man was charged with sexual assault on December 8, related to an incident that occurred on the Richmond Campus of Kwantlen Polytechnic University in September.

Norman Vincent Sagarbarrian, the alleged perpetrator, used the ruse of conducting a survey as a massage therapy student to approach a female student. According to the RCMP’s press release, he told the victim she won a “complimentary massage.” Instead however, “the victim was allegedly sexually assaulted by the male.”

Algonquin College spreads Christmas cheer through angel trees program

[OTTAWA] – Algonquin College recently ran a successful charity campaign in its Angel Tree Program, done in collaboration with The Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa (BGCO). Students, faculty, and staff could choose an angel from a tree that had the name of a child in need; they would then pledge to buy that child a present for Christmas.

The presents were given out to the children at a Christmas party on December 19 held by the BGCO; St. Nick himself stopped by to distribute presents.
