Ryerson Alumni - 2018 Summer - 46

CLASS NOTES

West Coast things; kale and
quinoa included. Through
visits back home to visit family
and on business trips, I've
constantly been in contact
with my classmates and
friends. We still get together
every now and then with an
RTA karaoke night at the
(now closed) Fox & Fiddle on
Bloor. We'll have to find a
new venue for our next one!
Work-wise, I've enjoyed plenty
of opportunities thanks to
my job at CBC Vancouver.
I've worked on all levels of
elections, concerts, forums
and news programs."

wins his seat. Alec, an
American journalist, flies
from Kandahar without
his editor's permission to
chronicle daily life in the
capital. Elyssa is a Canadian
