News Tidbits:

• Congratulations to Preston Plante. His new album Ambitions is now available on music streaming services
• Confederation College has announced a unique partnership with Sic Sox Circular Ltd., an innovative textile recycling program founded by Confederation College alumna, Dr. Dorris Mitchell and her son, Jerrett Paquette. Sic Sox Circular Ltd., headquartered in Brunswick House First Nation, collects textiles in all conditions such as bedding, towels, clothing, gently used shoes, handbags, and stuffed animal toys. Once collected, the textiles are brought back to the headquarters where they are weighed, sorted, and cleaned. Gently used items are then resold online at sicsoxcircular.ca or at their thrift store location, while the landfill-quality material is diverted to a shredder, breaking the textiles down to usable fibres.
