Welcome back Fanshawe students, staff, faculty and community members to another week and issue of the Interrobang. To start off another issue, my reporters spent a good amount of time working hard to have fresh and relatable content for you to read through and stay up to date with Fanshawe and London news. There are a number of key and important news article features within this issue for you to read through. One major breaking news story for our team was the recent notice from the College, noting that Fanshawe will be smoke-free as of Nov. 1. This includes all forms of smoking including cigarettes, marijuana, vapes etc. Students will now have to go off campus if they want to consume these products. This is just the first of a number of stories that our team will provide in the coming weeks, as news of the College’s decision came out suddenly.

Another big story includes a protest that included OPSEU members and London and District Labour Council who are not pleased with some of Premier Doug Ford’s acts, including unfair College faculty treatment and putting a freeze on the possible raise of minimum wage from $14 to $15.

This issue also highlights a number of accomplishments including some alumni who are nominated for the city’s business awards, to another being the keynote speaker at the upcoming Ignite Career Conference.

Our opinion section has a few articles dedicated towards the environment and sustainability, including one about why the College should not go smoke free.

Are you ready to get your spook on?! The lifestyles section includes a horror movie review a Halloween style fitness article and an article about some spooky haunted areas in London. There’s also a piece about an upcoming Halloween event in town and another article is about a Fanshawe member winning an art exhibit award.

Last, but not least, our sports section includes some neat pieces including a car review, a look at Fanshawe’s sports stats and a story about the success of both men’s and women’s soccer teams, as well as the golf head coach receiving a national award.

That’s it for this issue, but be sure to check back again when our next issue hits newsstands on Oct.26.

Happy reading,

Melissa Novacaska
