What makes CMU Blazers a magnet for talented student-athletes? It’s their winning culture, supportive community, and the drive to succeed.

For soccer midfielder David Gomez, the Blazers' recent MCAC championship and National Championships appearance convinced him to move 1,500 kilometres to help the team go further. New volleyball setter Paige Whiteside is ready to step up her game both on the court and in the classroom, with support from her teammates.

CMU wishes you a restful holiday filled with thankfulness, joy, and connection.

How do you update something for the next generation while still honouring the past?

That is what Métis alumnus Erik Gillespie (CMU '25) did when he breathed new life into a 200-year old Red River Métis anthem this past summer.

Commissioned by the White Horse Plains Michif Elders Advisory Group, Gillespie's new version of the Red River Métis anthem "La Chanson de la Grenouillère" ("The Song of Frog Plain") will be used for ceremonies and events, helping preserve Métis heritage and encourage Michif language learning.

"I'm just thrilled to be a part of it; it's an incredible opportunity," says Gillespie. "It taught me a lot about my own history."

On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, CMU pauses to reflect on the truth of residential schools and reaffirm its commitment to the ongoing journey of reconciliation.

Last week, CMU students, staff, and faculty gathered beside the tipi on campus for two meaningful events: a powerful performance by Indigenous band Broken Walls, who invited the CMU community into dance and connection, and a moving chapel led by Elder in Residence Vince Solomon, who spoke on the vital work of reconciliation. Today, the Indigenous Student Association continues this journey by attending events in honour of Truth and Reconciliation at FortWhyte Alive.

These moments are reminders of the importance of listening, truth-telling, and walking together in the spirit of reconciliation.

While working at Initiatives for Just Communities as Director of Services, alumna Jacqueline Sookermany (CMU '15) has never forgotten how CMU fostered their passion for caring for others.

"CMU taught me to expect more from the world and gave me the tools to make more happen for the people I support and care for."

In our latest Alumni in their own words, we spoke to Jacqueline about how their intersectional studies at CMU taught them to live out their values in social work and inspired them to become a CMU monthly donor.
