Lilia Zaharieva – A Tribute

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of one of our former CYC students, Lilia Zaharieva. Lilia died on June 17, 2022 at the age of 35. Lilia was an extraordinary woman who took on many challenges on multiple fronts and she was an inspiration for all who knew her. She lived with cystic fibrosis (CF) and from a young age Lilia was told she would not live much past the age of 30, the average life expectancy for persons with CF before the advent of the new miracle gene-altering drugs.

Statement from the School of Child and Youth Care in observance of Orange Shirt day and residential school Survivors and their Families, Communities and Nations

It was long ago and not so long ago, that the children from this land were stolen from their homes. An agreement between State and Church, to appropriate the land and to harm Indigenous people by taking the children from the land, families and identity.

Gain insights on how 40 young migrant participants respond to exile and life in transit, which calls upon a depth of strength and willingness to adapt and change. Participants can explore research perspectives through Q & As and through learning more about their storyboarding method. No RSVPs; seating is first come, first seated.

Physics and Astronomy Colloquium (In Person Only): Dr. Sara Ellison, University of Victoria

"Clash of the Titans: Galaxy mergers in the nearby Universe"

Astronomy's current model of galaxy evolution is built on a foundation of hierarchical growth, in which small galaxies merge together to form larger ones. In addition to the simple accrual of mass,this merging process is predicted to fundamentally change the galaxies' properties, such as dramatic morphological transformations, the triggering of bursts of star formation and high rates ofaccretion onto the central supermassive black hole. In this talk I will explain the physical processes behind these predictions, and present the observations that we are performing in order to testthe theory.
