On Tuesday, March 8, the Algonquin College community joined together to take part in the AC community mural project at the Ottawa campus. After an initial meeting with Algonquin College students to discuss the imagery and meaning of the mural, artists Jimmy Baptiste, Allan André, and Kalkidan Assefa got to work creating a concept and design.
Students and staff were invited to sign-up for one-hour slots to join in on the community painting day and add their artistic touch to various sections of the mural. Also in attendance were Algonquin Students’ Association President, Emily Ferguson, and Algonquin College President and CEO, Claude Brulé – to contribute their part to the mural.

Algonquin College Professor Matthew McCooeye lent his broadcasting expertise to the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games. This is McCooeye’s third Olympics, following Sochi 2014 and PyeongChang 2018. He was one of only two hockey replay directors in men’s and women’s hockey production at Beijing 2022 with the Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS).
Producing all live coverage for the Olympic and Paralympic games, the OBS uses leading technology and production methods to deliver the live feed at the Olympics. As the Program Coordinator of Algonquin College’s Broadcasting – Television program, being part of the OBS production crew gives McCooeye an opportunity to work with equipment unavailable in Canada, and bring that knowledge back to learners at the College.
“It’s a different kind of storytelling and our job is to tell the story of the game and the story of the athletes,” he says. “We have a camera and a replay machine that shoots 300 frames per second and provides beautiful pictures and replays; it’s like art. For reference, a normal replay camera in Canada shoots 30 frames per second.”
