Je suis fier de vous présenter aujourd'hui notre deuxième épisode complètement en français!!

Aujourd'hui, je parle avec Hannah Van Bemmel, un leader et animateur jeunesse du cours «CASO», qui offre des programmes de leadership aux étudiants de niveau intermédiaire et secondaire en français.

Nous voulons être sûr de produire des épisodes en français au moins une fois par saison pour honorer les contributions importantes et vitales de notre personnel francophone OELC/CASO. 

(The English version of this episode is episode 5!)

This episode features an interview with Hannah Van Bemmel, alumni and former youth facilitator at CASO - OELC's French language leadership program for intermediate and secondary students.

For the second time we are providing both a French and English version of this interview. This is the English version!

(La version française est épisode 6.) 

This episode features Joe Morrison and Paul Andry, alumni of the OMLC (Secondary Music) course at OELC in the summer of 1980.  They were kind enough to share their reflections and recollections about OELC/OMLC, and their "brother/sister" cabin group (24 members in all) who have stayed in touch for over 40 years!

This episode focuses on Nathan's interview with Mary Macdonald.  Mary Macdonald represented Canada in both basketball and volleyball. She played in three Pan Am Games and won three Sr. A national titles in basketball. As a high school teacher and coach at John Oliver secondary she developed several teams, coaching a number of players who went on to play volleyball for Canada at the 1976 Olympics.  Mary also was a torch bearer for the Pan am games, and is one of the stars of the documentary "The Oldest Basketball Team in the Worlds". She taught at OELC in the late 1950's and early 1960's.
