TERRY FOX WALK by Nicholas Hillier

On April 12th 1980, the future of
cancer treatment and research
changed forever. It was the day
that Terry Fox, a 21 year old Simon
Fraser University distance runner,
and basketball player started to
change lives. He began what
would be known as the Marathon
of Hope. The run would consist of
a marathon a day, until he was
across Canada. The purpose of the
run was to collect money for
cancer research.
Many know the story of Fox, as it
is a very familiar thing to students
across Canada, and internationally.
Annually, communities around the
globe hold the Terry Fox Run, and
for students in Canada, it's
something they do every year. But
for Katherine Dibbon, a Grade 11
student at Waterford Valley High,
it meant a whole lot more than just
a run a year. My Grade 3 teacher,
Ms. Legge had introduced the
Terry Fox story to us, and had read
us a book. It sparked my interest
because I found out that half of
Canadians will be affected by
cancer in their lifetime, and I knew
it was something that was going to
touch me personally, which it
ended up happening, said Dibbon.
In Grade 7-9, I took more of a
leadership role under the guidance
of Mr. Torraville at Beaconsfield
Junior High, and then when I got
here to Waterford Valley, I realized
there wasnt a walk, and thought
that theres no time like the
present to start one.
And start one she did. On
September 29th, WVH held its 2nd
Annual Walk. Dibbons goal was to
mobilize students around a WVH Grade 11 student Aidan
worthwhile cause. She didnt think
it was about the money, rather
than something more valuable like
educating students on the
importance of this topic, and on a
true Canadian hero.
Katherine has been involved in
organizing walks that have raised
over $5000 for the Terry Fox
Foundation, whose funds go
directly to cancer research. She
presently serves as the
Foundations Youth Ambassador for
Newfoundland and Labrador.
The 2nd Annual Walk at WVH was
an important one, as Terrys
brother, Fred Fox flew to
Newfoundland for some school
walks. Dibbon was excited for the
opportunity to have someone who's
in Terrys family and lived through
the journey of the Marathon
alongside him come to the school
Warren said that students are
enthusiastic, excited to be a part
of the walk.

gymnasium, where Fred Fox was

 INTERNATIONAL CLUB
On Friday, September 27th, the
newly formed WVH International
Club held its first meeting in Mr.
Kamel Marmouches room, with
the support from the
administration! Students from all
over the globe participate in a
Foreign Exchange Program.
Waterford Valley has been host to
students of this program since
opening in the fall of 2015.
We actually have done this
beforeWe did it at Bishops
[College]. We want to welcome the
International students to the
school and make them feel more
comfortable here, said
Marmouche, Teacher Sponsor of
the club. The International
Students make connections in the
club, its the first step, and if they
need a haircut, need to buy shoes
or need anything at all, they can
ask a local student who they trust
in the club, and theyll always find
help, whenever they need it.
The clubs first meeting garnered
some 20+ international students,
and many more from WVH. It
PLANETARIUM
NIGHT by Kailey Ikkusek-Rogers
Let's Talk Science is an award-
winning organization that focuses
on the outreach and education of
youth, specializing in the field of
STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Math). The MUN
chapter, established in 1996, hosts
many events for NL youth that aim
to inspire and educate our children
with various STEM-related
activities. This past month,
Waterford Valley High had the
honour to host one such event.
On September 21st, from 7-9 PM,
people of all ages gathered in the

learning, creativity and
amusement. Waterford Valley

classes, and it opens up local

around the world. The
International Students bring a lot
of different cultures into our
school community, and society,
Marmouche stated.
He added that, Many
[International Students] are
coming to Newfoundland from
Europe. We used to get mainly
South Americans, but now they're
coming from Spain, Germany,
France, and as far as Nepal.
The club wouldn't be a success if it
weren't for the support from the
administrative team, and the
students at WVH. Our students
are here to volunteer, help the
students, and ensure they are as
comfortable as possible. I cant
imagine how the International
Students feel when they come to
Newfoundland without any family,
where they dont understand the
language, and dont know anybody.
They all bring something new to
our environment but we, as a
school community need to make

focused on space, and especially
our solar system. Visitors had the
chance to try various activities.
These included: using a telescope,
creating a constellation-inspired
place mat, making a functional
craft rover, and of course, the star
of the event, the Digital Starlab.

In a time where xenophobia is
present, many people across
Canada have opened up their arms
even wider to immigrants, and
international persons. Canada has
welcomed thousands of new
Canadians into the country since
the fall of 2015. Multiculturalism is
an integral part of Canadian
culture. Many say that Canada is
strong, not in spite of our
differences, but because of them.
Canada is arguably the most
multicultural country in the world.
I like the multiculturalism, its
unbelievable, the differences, Its
amazing, said Marmouche.

way to learn about space".

 CHOCOLATE PRETZEL
CAKE by Mackenzie Collett
I am a firm believer that cake is the most important dessert in the world. When I think of it, I think not only of
the dessert itself, but also of the celebration that usually comes with it; birthdays, weddings, farewell parties,
the list goes on. And while pie is usually in the spotlight around Thanksgiving, I think this Chocolate Pretzel
cake will be a welcome guest on the Thanksgiving table.
There are countless recipes for chocolate cake and frosting out there, but I can assure you that this one
is the best. Add caramel frosting and pretzels, and what more could you ask for? Though, if youre looking for
more of a classic dessert, omit the caramel frosting and pretzels and youll still have a showstopper.

by Kailey Ikkusek-Rogers
I've always been a person of
words. Both in my love a literature
and linguistics and my tendency to
have a bark meaner than my bite.
So last year when I had the idea to

remain just that, an idea. But, in
lieu of that, I am proud to say that

It's taken a lot of work and
determination, and not just from
me. I got the ball rolling, but with
the crucial aid of several
incredible people this whole thing
came together. And therefore, I'd
like to extend my thanks and
recognition to them.
First, to Nick Hillier for being the
primary source of support. With
his help I made a proposal and
came in contact with Ms. Ricketts,

comment, or a thorough report of
