Multiple sources have indicated to Arthur that a man filming protesters on the morning of a May 15th sit-in for Palestine was, in fact, a high-ranking Trent University employee. Director of Trent's Student Wellness Centre, Stewart Engelberg, also left inflammatory comments under the posts of a pro-Palestine campus group.
Pickleball wasn’t on the agenda for the May 21st meeting of Peterborough City Council, but that didn’t mean Councillors wouldn’t have to face questions from residents who remain concerned about the Bonnerworth redevelopment project.
On May 21, nearly a month after Fleming College President Maureen Adamson announced the suspension of 29 programs—16 of which operates out of the Frost Campus in Lindsay—the City of Kawartha Lakes passed a resolution urging Provincial and Federal Governments' support in an effort to bring attention to the college program suspensions.
Arthur is back for round two with Issue 1. In this issue you'll find interviews with Stephen Stohn and the proprietors of Peterborough's newest independent bookstore, Take Cover Books. Get the latest on City Council's strategy on homelessness and reports from the ground of local protests. We're also happy to introduce a new column with "Gator Goes Global" and the return of fan favourite "Cinevangelism."
Arthur is sooo back! After a rejuvenating summer sabbatical in the woods, Arthur returns just in time for the school year with more of the hard-hitting community reporting you've come to expect from this small but mighty rag. In Issue 0, you'll find articles by community members about the experiences of graduate students post-graduation, the pitfalls of corporate culture, and why Bata Library isn't so aptly named. You'll also find a veritable cornucopia of book and film reviews. This issue also includes a feature article on the Peterborough Museum and Archives' newest exhibit: "To Honour and Respect: Gifts from Michi Saagiig Women to the Prince of Wales, 1860.”
After Arthur's Summer Staycation, we're back and better than ever. With co-editors Abbigale and Evan steering this beloved ship, goddess only knows what they'll get up to! As Volume 59's debut to the wonderful world of campus media, we've packed it full of hot takes, breaking news, a tour around Trent's Symons rather inaccessible campus, and fun and games for all, we have something for everyone in here. But don't take our word for it, see for yourself! Plus, the editors make a new grand introduction to the newly formed duo, and a beginner's guide to all things Arthur and Trent.
