The purpose of any funding drive is to raise funds, but I went into organizing this year’s event focused on making strong ties to the community first. Starting something that hasn’t been done before means creating a strong foundation for future years. Whether it was finding major sponsors for the drive or local businesses to partner up with for the Friends Card program, there was pavement to pound.

The Montréal en Lumière Festival kicked off on February 16th and continues till the 26th with an extensive list of amazing events and shows that really lighten up this city and clear up our grey winter skies.

Every month I’m going to post mini blurbs/summaries about books I’ve recently read AND I’m going to tell you why you should read them too, all in the most interesting, non-preachy, non-educative way possible. Also, since this we are a music station, not only will you be learning about some amazing literature but you’ll gain music knowledge too. How? Each novel gets its very own soundtrack! So take a look and listen. I recommend you listen to the soundtracks as you read the reviews.

Two dynamic voices have combined their talents and are coming to Montréal for two nights at Jello Martini Lounge, on August 26th and 27th. SoDisrespectful is the latest project from Toni Menage and gold and platinum selling artist Monifah. This high-energy duo, straight from New York City, will definitely put their own spin on neo-soul favorites and funk classics as well as top 40 hits and R&B tracks.
