    Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2nd annual Community Kindness Day events and for all the random acts of kindness throughout the day. We came together as a community to celebrate compassion, connection, and the power of kindness.
 
Let’s keep the spirit of kindness alive every day with small acts that make a big difference. Share your favourite moments in the comments below!
    Today, November 20, we observe Transgender Day of Remembrance. This day honours the memory of transgender individuals whose lives were tragically lost due to acts of anti-transgender violence. 
 
In recognition of this day, the Transgender Flag has been raised on campus, and all flags will be lowered to half-mast for the day. 

@Catalyst_mta is hosting a Transgender Day of Remembrance Vigil at the Chapel at 6 p.m. All community members are welcome to gather in remembrance.
    Congratulations to honours biochemistry student and Bell Scholar Claire Wilbur — Mount Allison's 57th Rhodes Scholar!
