From the Road



Hi everyone! Well I’m part way through week 2 of recruiting. Last week I was in Southwest Nova Scotia staying at the beautiful White Point Beach Resort. What a gorgeous place! I was completely blown away by all the Bunnies! I met some great students who I know would just love the Mount and I look forward to seeing many of you again at Open Campus Day!
For the rest of this week I will be traveling to Kingston, Courtice, Whitby and Toronto. I’m staying in beautiful downtown Ottawa right now and it’s spectacular! I will keep you updated on my travels and try to post some pictures as I travel to high schools in ON to meet some future MSVU students. Please contact me if you have any questions or if you would like to know if/when I will be traveling to a high school near you. melanie.leblanc@msvu.ca.

*Fun Story of the Week*
I will try to post fun stories as they happen…they made me laugh so I hope they do the same for you (even if it is at my expense!).
Tonight I went to the parking garage with another recruiter and we heard a very strange noise coming from a few cars down. We went to investigate and thought that it sounded like a small animal. We looked everywhere and couldn’t find it. Using some keen skills we determined that it was the sound of a kitten (a VERY loud one). We narrowed it down to one car but couldn’t find the cat anywhere. We decided that we couldn’t just leave the scene and we went to the front desk and told someone that works at the hotel that they should check it out and that we had to run to visit a school. He looked at us like we were crazy but said, “Umm sure… I’ll look into it.” When we got back we went and asked and he said “Oh, ya… we found it, it was a kitten…he’s out back.” Immediately I thought he was mocking us and put the most “that-was-offensive-face” I could muster and he said “No I’m serious!” He proceeded to go out back and bring the cutest kitten ever to us! As the rest of the story goes, he went and looked, saw nothing and thought we were crazy, but then other people were telling him too…and finally two guests of the hotel realized the sound was coming from the ENGINE where the kitten had hidden!!! Apparently he must have been in there for a while. Thankfully he is safe now and we are trying to help find a home for him. I will try to get a picture!

Anyway…that’s the story of how I helped save a life tonight!
Ciao for now!
