Monday, February 20, 2012. Fun winter weekend in the Laurentians mountains. It was a weekend packed with fun winter activities. Cooking, chatting, playing mafia and jenga in Nancy's beautiful cottage. Cross country skiing in the Launrentians mountains, skating on the frozen lakes, show shoeing and photography. Glimpses into our winter weekend adventure! All set for the day's adventures! Josh teaching Esmael to skate. And Esmael falls down hard on the ice. And again and again but refuses to give up.

Sauvé Scholars Blog: January 2012

http://sauvescholarsblog.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

Monday, January 30, 2012. Wintery Walks throught Montreal. This is an excerpt from my personal blog: throughthesepages.wordpress.com but I thought it was appropriate to the Sauvé Program. Enjoy. As the adrenaline ran out, I found myself more contemplative, tired and prone to stay in the warm and dryness of my home. Snow covered benches line the trails up the mountain. A beautiful sapling weighted down with snow and ice. On a sunny day people fill the slopes by Beaver Lake to slide around. The Mohawks of ...

Tuesday, July 17, 2012. Reflections from the 2011-12 Sauve year. Last August, fourteen young people hailing from countries as different from Canada as the Palestinian Territories, Kenya and Paraguay, embarked on a journey to learn about leadership and how to contribute to effective responses to the major global challenges of our time. We did so by exchanging ideas with each other and educating ourselves at two world class. Noted that in his country, it is unheard of for anyone but the central bureau to i...

Sauvé Scholars Blog: Things I Will Miss...

http://sauvescholarsblog.blogspot.com/2012/05/things-i-will-miss.html

Thursday, April 18, 2013. Things I Will Miss. It's impossible to describe all of the magical memories that were made this year. As we wrap up our time here at Sauvé House, here are just a few memories I will take with me. Food - so much food. We've eaten together, cooked together, been out-spiced by Dechen together. Camping - our first trip of the year (remember the terrible thunderstorm? Preparing for winter, many for the first time. More food. And, a great Halloween party. Fun in the snow. Scholars liv...

Sauvé Scholars Blog: Building the Best Gingerbread House

http://sauvescholarsblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/building-best-gingerbread-house.html

Friday, April 19, 2013. Building the Best Gingerbread House. On December 8th and 9th, the Sauvé Scholars, embarked on a mission to build the best gingerbread house we could. Josh found blue prints of Maison Jeanne Sauvé and crafted a scaled replica of the house in sketch-up. We then printed scaled plans of the house and cut our gingerbread to match. The result: a beautiful, bright red gingerbread house with a chocolate bear to represent each Sauvé Scholar! Step 3: Ensure that the walls fit together.

Friday, September 28, 2012. From Reproductive Justice to Human Rights Movement. Being an activist is one of the most amazing things that could ever happen to me!

Sauvé Scholars Blog: August 2012

http://sauvescholarsblog.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Wednesday, August 15, 2012. More Reflections on the 2011 - 12 Sauvé Experience A Wish for the 2012 - 13 Sauvé Scholars. Sauvé House was a truly special place for me. Unlike any other environment, it was a place where I explored different parts of my identity—my Pakistani birth, Canadian upbringing and international experiences that connected me to my peers. I felt completely at home, more comfortable with who I am and my varied life experiences in a house full of people from around the world. Scholars li...
