By: Priya MigneaultThis past Sunday John Krasinski with Some Good News hosted a virtual graduation for all the graduates of 2020. He had those who signed up hop onto a zoom call with him and move those tassels to the other side to mark this milestone in their lives. On twitter he asked for graduating students to submit questions that would be answered during the ceremony and to everyone's suprise he didn't answer them. John had Malala Yousafzai, Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, and Jon Stewart answer the questions for him. It is so nice to see someone looking out for and celebrating all those who have made it thus far in their academic careers, so thank you John. If you are interested in watching the full video click here. Last week was my neighbours 9th birthday and she got the parade to back it up! But it isn't just my neighbourhood getting livened up, 100's if not 1000's, of people received a birthday parade this year just for them. Proving that we can still party and celebrate with each other while apart. To show that there is still beauty and community on the grey days, stores across the city have been putting up rainbows to show that there is still colour during these days. At my local grocery store the rainbows were painted by the youth council and are accompanied with the saying 'It will be okay'. It is nice to be reminded that during these times we are not alone, and we can all find strength and connection within our communities. As all ways, I hope all of you are well. Priya
