#uvic - The question on everyone's minds right now: when will we be done with zoom classes? Here's the latest info we have on what UVic's plans are.

Do you have questions about a potential return to campus or BC's vaccination plans for young people? Leave them in the comments and we will try to answer them in our next explainer post.

In our latest issue, Senior Staff Writer Chris Dri

In our latest issue, Senior Staff Writer Chris Driscoll admits that he wishes he would've written more for the Martlet during his degree. Chris says that anyone can write for the Martlet and encourages other students to do so.

"By pushing outside my comfort zone in the world of journalism, I found myself engaging with communities outside the world of the arts that shared very similar bonds and passions to those I’d found in my culture work. I got the opportunity to help amplify individuals’ voices and play a role, even if minor, in bringing attention to the incredible communities we have here in Victoria.

For me, that’s what being a journalist is all about. As student journalists, first and foremost, our aim is to keep the student population aware of what’s going on around them. But we also play an important role in strengthening community bonds and sharing community stories."

Fashion is a massive industry — it employs one in six people worldwide. But according to Fashion Checker, 93 per cent of brands don't pay their workers a living wage.

Through thrifting, some UVic students are learning to appreciate the treasure hunt that comes with combing through rows of second-hand clothes.

For our feature this issue, we spoke to UVic students about why they love thrifting and why they've decided to kick fast fashion to the curb.
