Title A name given to the resource Latin American stories from Ottawa Description An account of the resource Ottawa, Canada's capital, is home to a richly diverse community. This reality makes Ottawa great. However, it can also make it difficult for Canadian citizens, residents, and newcomers to know where to start when looking for a community. For the winter 2025 Latin America and the Caribbean class, we endeavoured to inspire our students to explore this diversity through ethnographic interviews. Over thirteen weeks, our students interviewed friends, family, and Ottawa's Latin American and Caribbean community members and the surrounding areas. Our ultimate goal is to create an archive of stories that the Latin community can access at any time, preserving knowledge and promoting their cultures. We invite you to browse the stories collected by our students, listen to the audio recording, and read transcripts and biographies of those interviewed.

Welcome. I am called Akweshi Valery, and I'm here with my colleague. Yilin: Hi, I'm Yilin We are gathered here to conduct an insightful interview with Carlos, aiming to understand the experiences of Latin American communities in Ottawa. Allow me to introduce our esteemed interviewer, Carlos. Welcome, Carlos. Thank you. Carlos: Thank you guys for having me.  Thank you. We appreciate you doing this for us. Our first question will be, what's your country of origin?  Carlos: My country of origin is Colombia. It's located in South America, which is a diverse country. I'm from the Caribbean region, which is in the northern part of the country. Akweshi: Thank you so much for that brilliant answer. What brought you to Ottawa?  Carlos: I came to Ottawa for work. I got a job in a company my mom's friend owned, so I just got in. For that reason and then for that reason I just like to hear… I worked there for a year and now I have decided to stay. So it's already been three and a half years of living in Ottawa.  Akweshi: Do you have family here, and do you see them frequently? Carlos: Yeah, so precisely in Ottawa, I don't have any family, but I have family in Canada, down south in Cambridge, Ontario. I have my aunt and my cousins. I do see them every once in a while. But not as freaking as I wanted to. But yeah, there's no family, but still there in Ontario. 00:02:50.618 --> 00:02:55.618 Akweshi: Thank you for the brilliant answer, Carlos. Do you live in a Latin community or neighborhood where people speak Spanish or Portuguese on rare occasions?  Carlos: Since I moved to Ottawa, my mom's friend has been from Santa Marta, the city I am from in Colombia. Since I came to Ottawa, I've been surrounded by Spanish-speaking people and moved from one place to another. Everywhere I move, one or two people usually speak the language, and I sometimes speak with them. We have things in common, even though they're not Colombians per se. They are Latin America, and that is something that ties us together. Talking about different Latin American problems shows us how similar we are in culture and politically speaking. 00:04:24.169 --> 00:04:33.169 Akweshi: I will ask the next question, what celebrations are most important to you, Carlos?  Carlos: Since I've been here in Canada, the new year is one of the most important celebrations. In Colombia, we usually see it as a family occasion, so all the adults and children get together. Usually, we are at grandma's house, so we interact with each other. Some people like that don't live in the city; they just go to the town for that occasion, so New Year's will be a significant celebration. There will be lots of food, lots of dancing, and lots of singing. So yeah, that will be the most important, but in Colombia, there are so many celebrations during the year. So we have variety. That's why that's the most important thing for the family. But there are more different celebrations. Akweshi: Another brilliant answer. Mr. Carlos, thank you so much. And I hope one day I could gain that experience too. I would love to experience that, maybe someday. Thank you again for the brilliant answer. So, how do you describe a typical day in your community?? Carlos: Okay, so yes, thank you for that question. My day would start in the morning. I would just make the coffee in my cafeteria, which I brought from Colombia. I like making arepas and corn flour dough that you can fry, and I enjoy going to school and working in the afternoon. I have friends and colleagues from Latin America. Thanks to technology, I can bridge the distance and keep in touch with my family. Platforms like FaceTime and WhatsApp have become my lifelines, allowing me to share my daily life with my loved ones back home. I enjoy the day by practicing some customs that I have from Colombia. Akweshi: Oh, thank you for the wonderful answer. How do you celebrate your heritage 00:07:46.623 --> 00:08:16.623 Carlos: So, it's pervasive. So I look for new festivals, or like there is the Colombian independence, there are usually Latin American film festivals, and there is the Latin American Heritage Month. I typically try to keep in touch with/  Here's everything going on in Ottawa. Usually, the embassy is in charge of organizing these events. But sometimes, Latin American people organize it, so I try practicing my heritage because it's extraordinary. It's very, very. It keeps me grounded and focused on who I am and where I came from. And how beautiful it is to share it with everybody else in Ottawa.  Akweshi: Excellent answer, Carlos. So, what values do you hold most dear as a Latin or Caribbean community member? Carlos: So, as a Colombian, there is family solidarity. The family is central to Colombian society, and I have strong ties. I also like to keep in touch with all my extended family. We also—well, in my family—respect the elders. This is always most important. I intensely care for older people, usually my grandmother. She says that she created it all. It all began with her. And that's a big thing in the Colombian community: respect for the elders and faith. We practice Catholicism, which influences our daily lives because of how we talk and act. We just have to align with our religious faith. Colombian culture tends to be more socially oriented. It's more of a community rather than an individual. We like how we can contribute to the collective well-being. And yeah, that's something that I have to say about Colombia. Akweshi: Thank you for your amazing answer. What would you like to share about yourself or the community that you think is important for people to know? Carlos: As I mentioned in the last question, that is very important to the family. I like to keep that heritage and value going because that keeps me motivated. I want to share my day-to-day life with my family, including my siblings, nephew, grandmother, uncle, and extended family. I also really keep a good relationship with my cousins. We all grew up in the same atmosphere, the same And… Yeah, so I would say that living here, it is essential to know that keeping their more… The more collective, socially focused, the better than the individual, so that's how I like it. Akweshi: Carlos, thank you so much. So, first, I want to ask you: Do you make that remand at home? Where do you purchase your groceries to prepare your traditional meals? Carlos: All right. Thanks for that question. I like to make my food. I want to cook for myself, and I have so many recipes that my Abuela has passed on to me. I like sancocho, a lovely soup with so much Protein, meat, and vegetables—suitable for a freezing day here. I also want to eat empanadas, which are made of Corn flour. The dough is filled with either chicken or beef and then fried. As I mentioned, you just fry or pan fry, and some of this stuff is hard to find here in the local grocery store. However, there are some Latin American, African, and Asian stores. Akweshi: Okay. What food do you make that reminds you of home, and where do you purchase your groceries to prepare your traditional meals Carlos: All right. As mentioned, I like to make my food at home. 00:00:22.603 --> 00:00:49.603 I like to get everything from grocery stores and small Latin American stores. I want to make sancocho, a soup filled with vegetables and protein. It's suitable for a freezing day because it's warm and warms you up. I also like to make empanadas. They're usually more complicated because you must fill them out. It can be done with beef or chicken. It's also good to do it on a free day when you can talk with friends or family. As I mentioned, I also like arepas, which are circular dough you pan or fry. However, some ingredients are hard to find in a regular grocery store. So I go to the Latin American market or a couple of stores in the Ottawa-Gatineau region and find some Asian ingredients. There are excellent African supermarkets here in Ottawa. For specifics, I usually go to those Latin American markets, but for everything else, I use a regular grocery store here in Canada. 00:02:13.903 --> 00:02:16.903 Akweshi: Okay, thank you for the amazing answer. I would like to ask this question:How likely would you and your family be to use the website we are creating to upload your stories? And how will you use it? We would like to save the community better, so any suggestions from you about assets, as well as should be posted would be greatly appreciated. Carlos: All right. Thanks for that question. It's good because I am a student as well. I recommend the website. I just want to see myself in other interviews and how similar we are culturally. Because there will be only Colombians, I'm sure there will be people from Mexico, Central America, and the rest of South America. I recommend this website to my family. That way, they will not know how people act or interact here. My apologies for the inconvenience in Ottawa. I would encourage the community to see how connected we are and how we are connected And it'll be important for them to know how the community gets together. Through different experiences. What I mean by that is just a good opportunity. For people to know. How was everybody's different experience coming here to Ottawa? Akweshi: Well, thank you. For the wonderful answer, Carlos. Thank you for the two. Do you have any other comments or concerns? Carlos:  I am happy with all the information I have to share, and it's an excellent opportunity.  Would you like to share it? Carlos: As I mentioned before, to people from the Latin American community as well as those who are not from the Latin American community, because that way we see our different perspectives and maybe how we relate as immigrants to this city more specifically. And yeah, I appreciate it.  Akweshi: Well, Carlos, thank you so much for sharing this with us. We appreciate your contribution, and we hope to learn, in the future, about some cultures of Latin America. Thank you for being here with us. Thank you.  Appreciate your time. Carlos: Thank you, guys. Thank you for having me, and I hope it all goes well. Akweshi and Yilin: Thank you. Thank you.  Carlos: Thank you.

Interviewee The person(s) being interviewed Alberto Camacho-Mallaganes Interviewer The person(s) performing the interview Camille Paillat; Sophie Renaud Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data On Zoom Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes: Hello! Camille: Hello! Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes: How is it going? Camille: It’s good, thank you. Hello again, my name is Camille, and this is Sophie. Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us today. Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes Camile: Nice to meet you. Of course, no problem. Camille: We appreciate your participation in this interview. So, we only have 15 minutes, and this Zoom is being recorded. Is it okay with you? Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes: Yes, that is totally fine. Camile: Alright, thank you. We are now going to start with the questions. Sophie: The first question we have is: Could you kindly share your country of origin? And what do you like the most about your country, such as the cities, environment, people, etc.? Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes: Yeah, so, mine is a little more complicated, I guess. I was born in Mexico, so that would be my country of origin. I moved to California when I was three years old, but I sort of went back and forth between California and Mexico. But as far as my experience with Mexico, I mean, the people are very welcoming and friendly. It is definitely, I don't know... a much slower type of people, I would say. Sophie: Also, what city are you from in Mexico? Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes: I am from Morelia, Michoacán, which is like, if you know where Mexico City is, about three hours northwest of Mexico City. Sophie: Next question, for moving to Ottawa: What made you move here? And what are those specific reasons? Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes: I moved to Ottawa because of a PhD. I got the opportunity to join a lab that was doing work that I was very interested in. So, I made the move to Ottawa! Sophie: Is it at uOttawa, Carleton, or another college? Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes: uOttawa, yes. Sophie: Do you have any family members residing in Ottawa, and how do you maintain connections with them if so? Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes: I don’t have any family members in Ottawa. All my family is back in California or Mexico. Sophie: For the fourth question: Which cultural celebration is the most significant for you, and how do you participate in it? This can either be in Ottawa, in California, or Mexico. Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes: I would say, as far as Mexican holidays, that I still follow them since I moved to Canada. It would be El Día de los Muertos, which is supposed to be a week to a month where you remember people in your family that have passed away. Sophie: In what month is that holiday? Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes: It is in October, but I always forget. I will have to double-check. Don’t call me out on it, but I think it’s the end of October or the beginning of November. I think that’s when it falls. Sophie: So next question is about your heritage. How do you usually celebrate your cultural heritage? How do you honor it to this day? Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes: That’s a tough question... I mean, I guess whenever I have the opportunity, I tell people where I’m from. I don’t know if I do anything specific to honor my heritage other than sort of telling people where I’m from, how I grew up, and maybe sharing food. Sophie: What is your favorite food if I can ask? Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes: It kind of depends... I would say that my favorite is what we call mole, which is like a Mexican curry. That’s the best way to describe it. Sophie: Alright, thank you! Camille: Alright, from what you shared so far, is there anything important that you believe people should know and understand about your culture or community? Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes: You know what, I think and feel like there is a lot of stereotypes associated with Mexicans. There are certain holidays that are associated with Mexico, such as Cinco de Mayo and stuff like that, but it isn’t really a thing. We don’t all sip tequila and eat tacos all day long. Although we love tequila! Tacos are a huge part of our culture, but the cuisine is like extremely diverse, and there is stuff outside of tequila and tacos too that are associated with culture. There is a rich history there! Camille: And, also, what values do you hold most dearly? Are there any specific traditions, beliefs or practices that are especially meaningful to you? Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes: Since my mom passed away, I would say the Dia del Muerto is the big one, where it is like when you lose a loved one, after a couple of years you kind of start to forget. It becomes less present in your life that this person is gone. It almost builds a little alter to them, such as you put up their pictures, you buy their favorite snacks, make their favorite foods, or like if they have a specific type of trinket and you put it up next to the picture. It makes you remember a lot of the things that you care for about this person. Camille: To go back to the food, can you share three of your favorite traditional dishes? Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes: I would say, like mole is probably my favorite one. I know I just said that there is more to the cuisine that tacos, but I love tacos, and to be specific, I love el pastor tacos. They are call it “Mexican shawarma”, and it is basically cooked in the exact same way that shawarma is. But instead of it being chicken and beef, it is pork. So, it’s pork base and it is marinated in a chili paste sauce. It is super tasty. For my third one, it is called a torta, which is a Mexican street sandwich. Camille: If you prepare them, where do you usually go find the ingredients, if you know? Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes: It’s a struggle to find ingredients here. I mean there is a few little Latin markets. But often times, if you want to make a mole, you have to go to three or four different little Latin markets because they each carry one or two things that you need to make it. It is kind of rough... But, I will say though that I have seen salsa verde. Also, when I moved here five years ago, tomatillos which is a type of green tomato were impossible to find. Now, Loblaws, Metro, and Whole food carry them. So, it is like hey!.. There must be enough Mexicans that they start to carry this specific product. Camille: We are currently working on a website to help share this community's stories. The name of this website is Omeka. It is an open-source attachment system designed to create digital archives. And, how likely are you to engage with it? Do you have any suggestions for how we can make it more accessible and engaging? Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes: I’ve never heard of the website, so I can’t say that I have engaged with it. So I would say that maybe making people more aware of the website would be my biggest suggestion. If people know about it, they are more likely to engage with it. Camille: Before we wrap up the interview, is there anything else you would like to share, or any thoughts or suggestions? Or even personal stories? Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes: Not on the top of my head that I can think of. If you guys have any more questions or would like to know more, I know you said you only had 15 minutes, you have 5 minutes if you wanna ask more questions, I am open to share whatever you want to know. Camille: Sophie, do you have any questions? Sophie: I was wondering if your family came to Ottawa? Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes: My family came to visit me I would say it was like 6 months after I moved here. Other than that, they have not come up to Canada because of the whole pandemic thing, and then after it been like “well I should be done with my PhD soon, come when I finish my PhD”. Sophie: And how did they find it here? Just wondering how you and your family like Ottawa? Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes: I actually really like Ottawa; I was really surprised. You know, I feel like when I was moving here, I knew it was the capital of Canada, and then I had seen the video of the guy that pulled a raccoon in a McDonald's. That was the two things that I knew about Ottawa, and I was like “yeah alright”. But then I got here, and I don’t know ... it is a really nice city: it has a nice balance of big city stuff, and I like how easy it is to get on the bike path and Gatineau Park. It is something that I really appreciate. Sophie: Now, my last question for you: Are you planning to stay in Ottawa for longer? Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes: That is to be determined. For my PhD, I work in cancer research and my goal is to move in biotech or work in the private sector. Ottawa doesn't have a lot of industries for that. I was potentially thinking to apply to the federal government to work in research labs but there are hiring freezes. Ottawa might not be where I end up, but I like it here, and if I end up staying, I would be very happy with that. Sophie: Alright, thank you! I think this is all for us. Camille, do you have any questions? Camille: No, that was all the questions I had. Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes: I feel like you were shocked about the raccoon. Camille: YES! Everyone has heard of it. Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes: Yes, it was a funny moment that was caught on video. You should feel proud of being a native from Ottawa for that video and that’s what you’re known for. It gives you guys an edge. Camille: Thank you so much for your time and hearing your experiences. Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes: Of course! Camille: Your contribution is very important to us. Mr. Alberto Camacho-Magallanes: Happy to assist! Camille: Thank you so much and have a great night!

So thank you for doing the that ethics form, which I have, I need to also sign myself. But anyways, um, so let's firstly, do you want to know a bit about the project to kind of just start? So basically, this project is for my anthropological studies in the Caribbean and Latin America. Basically what we're doing is that we're interviewing people in Canada that are from those continents. And basically we're going to take their stories and put them all into one website so that way people can view it, experience, learn, and it's overall, going to be this incredible, beautiful thing. So I have a partner. He's he has actually done another interview. So this is my interview with you. And yeah, we're gonna get started with the general introduction. So here we have, like, what part of the Caribbean are you from? What brought you, you and your family to Canada, and how much family do you have here living in Canada with you? From the Caribbean? Taryn 1:27 Feel free to introduce Speakers 2 1:29 Okay, so my family's from Jamaica, and majority of our family is now either in Canada or the United States, mostly being in Canada. My mom has eight siblings, and I believe three of which are still in Jamaica. But the rest are here. Actually, the rest are Unknown Speakers 2:01 sorry. Let me do quick now, three in Jamaica, Speakers 2 2:07 or here, one in America. Speakers 1 2:10 And this kind of diving a bit deeper. Where in Canada would you say most of your mom's siblings are located in throughout Ontario, throughout Ontario, and I can seem closer to Toronto. Yes, yeah. So for this project as well, we were looking for people from Ottawa, but I wanted to particularly tackle the GTA area, because I feel like there's a huge Caribbean culture there as well, and I think that's very lovely. And for the one that is in the US, where are they from? Where are they located right now, in the US? Speakers 2 2:51 I don't think he's there legally, so I don't know. Unknown Speakers 2:57 Well, you know, it's the experience. Speakers 1 3:01 Who knows, but totally cool. I'm so best aware about that. So let's get into the community and heritage part. Um, so do you live in an area where a large Crimean community, what language, slash vernaculars are spoken, and do you speak or understand any of them? Unknown Speakers 3:19 Okay, so Speakers 2 3:22 being from Richmond Hill, no, but being slightly north of Toronto, yes, if you understand what I mean, I do. I do because, like living in Richmond Hill, the the Caribbean culture is absolutely zero, but driving just like 15 minutes south into Toronto, it's huge, right? And I do not at least Jamaica's dialects patois, which is English. It's just broken English. I don't speak it, but I completely understand it. And it's honestly, so funny, because it's something I grew up with, and it's something I've always, like, understood before. Whenever my mom is speaking Pato in front of me, and my friends are around, and they don't get it, I'm like, but she's speaking English. No Speakers 1 4:15 exactly. I feel that actually, when I'm looking up and like, reformatting the questions I put in the notes here, Pat was because I was like, obviously, but I think that's really cool. Like, what are kind of some of the words that like stick out to you a lot? Or what are some very common sayings? Um, Speakers 2 4:35 common sayings. My mom doesn't use common sayings because she doesn't. I feel like a lot of parents have their go to sayings. My mom doesn't do that. She has a go to look for every situation. Unknown Speakers 4:53 I love that. Honestly, Speakers 2 4:56 it's actually really funny, because the other night, I'm like, Hey Mom, I'm going out and. She's, like, Unknown Speakers 5:04 iconic, iconic, um, not. Speakers 1 5:09 And I think that's like, really, really cool that we're looking at podcasts in different vernaculars. Um, anyways, what are some notable celebrations when? Which ones are the most important to you? Okay, Speakers 2 5:23 so I did look at that question and I'm like, Hmm, nothing really differs, because Jamaica is a very like Christian country, right? So typically, everything we celebrate here is celebrated there in the aspect of faith, but they do have carnival, which we would look at as Caribana or Toronto Caribbean carnival. But a lot of people don't realize they're completely different times during the year. So Carnival in the islands is typically right before Lent. Oh, so a carnival time just actually passed, and carnival there is completely different to what we do here. Like, Unknown Speakers 6:16 have you ever seen like a holy celebration? Speakers 1 6:18 I've no holy celebration. I have definitely seen, like, a couple videos of, like, the parades and whatnot, and like, the kind of pageant aspect of it, okay, yeah, Unknown Speakers 6:28 they do that too. But Speakers 2 6:32 with Holi, it's an Indian celebration. It's a lot of colors, and they're, like, bright colors and like, pinks and stuff they do that during Carnival, like balloons. It's like paint filled balloons. And so it's like a mixture of holy and Caribbean carnival as we see it here, like kind of mashed into one. It's actually really cool. Speakers 1 6:57 And that's like a very huge part of the Caribbean as well, because there's so many different types of people that are coming together. There's so many cultures that are being represented, if you will. And I think your point about like Christian holidays, I am curious, in comparison to kind of prison holidays here in Canada, what are some, I guess, unique aspects that, to me, kind of brings to those cultures, any particular foods or traditions that might differ or unique. So Speakers 2 7:29 for Easter, I know, like here during Easter, we're not supposed to do the whole meat thing, but there during Easter they typically just, it's just fish and then spice, bun and cheese. Okay, that is food for Easter. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. Speakers 1 7:48 I think one thing that my family does is, of course, garlic pork for Christmas. I'm not sure if you do that as well. I think that's a Guyanese thing, right? But no super cool. And I think the different types of foods is, honestly, the food is incredible. Like, that's really, yeah, the food is incredible, incredible. So, um, there's kind of two questions here. Um, how do you celebrate your heritage and what values do you hold most dear to you that come from your community? And those might be kind of odd questions. So yeah, do you have an answer for that? The insight, um, Speakers 2 8:29 sorry, could you repeat the first one? Unknown Speakers 8:33 The first one, how do you celebrate your heritage? Unknown Speakers 8:37 Honestly, I don't Speakers 2 8:41 in the aspect that being Jamaican is just like a celebration in itself. Because, like, I feel like when you're Jamaican, everyone knows you're Jamaican. I've quite literally been told you look, Jamaican. Speakers 1 9:01 Would it what does that mean? Exactly? Bucha, Unknown Speakers 9:05 who knows, but Speakers 2 9:09 as the most like known Caribbean island, like, when people hear you're from the Caribbean, they go, Oh, Jamaica, Unknown Speakers 9:19 right. So I don't Speakers 2 9:21 really celebrate being Jamaican, because I feel like it's a celebration in itself. It's like Speakers 1 9:30 every day almost. It's like a huge part of who you are. And I think that's a very interesting perspective. It's it's different. And I not different actually. I think it's unique, and I love it honestly, so kind of moving on to that second question, what are some values that you hold that come from that place? Unknown Speakers 9:51 Okay, well, my mom Unknown Speakers 9:53 always instilled in me family Unknown Speakers 9:58 and I. I have Unknown Speakers 10:01 a huge family. Speakers 2 10:04 So I have five brothers, sorry, four brothers on my mom's side, and then my dad has 12 kids. Unknown Speakers 10:12 Huge family, huge Speakers 2 10:14 family. Um, so I've always been taught to be there when I can be but like also not to exert myself for the good of others, but I like to always try to be there, at least for my siblings. Speakers 1 10:32 That's incredible, because there's so many of them, little army, little army, Unknown Speakers 10:40 my dad could have two basketball teams. Speakers 1 10:44 Honestly, I think that's very incredible. Are Muslim and tall? Speakers 2 10:48 Oh yeah, oh yeah, not a single short one. Unknown Speakers 10:53 Genes are strong. Unknown Speakers 10:56 I mean, other than the seven year old, Speakers 1 10:59 makes sense. But we'll give it a couple years, we'll give it a couple of years. Um, no, and I think that's super cool. I think actually the aspect of family is, I mean, that's really huge in the carina as well. I think as a stem from that as well as, um, respecting elders is a very huge part of that. How are you can do you feel connected to that part? Is I value your bold um, Speakers 2 11:22 so I feel like respecting your elders is very instilled in Caribbean children. However, in this day and age, I feel like we've come to a point where we've learned to stand up for ourselves. Because it's one thing to respect your elders, and it's another to completely sit there and accept being annihilated, which 90% of the time is exactly what's being done to you. Speakers 1 11:54 I see it's very, very interesting. So looking at the next question here, would you like to share? Sorry, what would you like to share about yourself or your community that you think is important for people to know? Speakers 2 12:12 Nothing specifically about myself, but not every Caribbean is Jamaican. Unknown Speakers 12:18 No. Speak on it, speak on it. Speakers 2 12:21 And I feel like that's something so so many people get so offended. Because, like, when people are like, Oh, my God, you're Caribbean, you must be Jamaican, it's like, no, there are so many countries in the Caribbean, and like other other Caribbean countries, just feel so looked over Unknown Speakers 12:44 because of Jamaican. Speakers 2 12:45 And as a Jamaican, I'm sorry, but we are the center of attention. I understand that. But there are others. Speakers 1 12:54 There are other you want to give Friday. You want to give praise. Exactly, interesting, very interesting. I love that. And I think we touched on this question kind of beforehand. But what foods remind you of your home, and where do you purchase your groceries to prepare any traditional meals if you cook Unknown Speakers 13:21 so? Danforth food market, Unknown Speakers 13:24 Danforth food market Speakers 2 13:27 and things that remind me of Jamaica, per se, ackee and salfish. I love a good ackee and selfish, which, honestly, I didn't realize until I spent the summer there when I was 10. But that is a breakfast food, okay? Because I, yeah, I always grew up eating it for dinner, because that's when my mom would make it. But it's a breakfast food. Breakfast Speakers 1 13:54 food, and sorry, the ackee and saw fish describe the meal a bit more. So  Unknown Speakers 14:01 ad is Jamaica's national fruit, Speakers 2 14:05 but it needs to be cooked, because if it is not cooked, it can be poisonous. Oh, yeah. And then the salt fish is, I think it's cod fish, but salted. Okay. So then you have to boil off, like majority of the salt, otherwise, like it, like it's inedible because of the Unknown Speakers 14:27 amount of salt, Unknown Speakers 14:30 high sodium, high sodium, yep, Speakers 1 14:34 sounds like it, um, out of curiosity, like, Are there any particular like, desserts or any kind of spots that you can find in Toronto or Ontario that really like hit home for you. Unknown Speakers 14:49 No, I can't say so, because Unknown Speakers 14:53 I've never really been one for Jamaican desserts. Speakers 2 14:58 Honestly, most it's like. Black cake and then pudding. And it's not like, yeah, it's not like a westernized pudding. It's like a it's like a cake, per se. But Unknown Speakers 15:12 I do love black cake, Unknown Speakers 15:13 but I make Speakers 2 15:14 my own. So absolutely I don't have any recommendations on that aspect, and I have tried to make in restaurants. However, couldn't recommend any of them either, because I can't say anything is better than my mom's cookie. Speakers 1 15:34 I think, I think a parent's cooking, a grandmother's cooking, even it will surprise any restaurant really, exactly up until the grandmas decide to open up their own truly, um, but no, I think that's like, very interesting. Black cake is also really good. I I've had some myself, um, I would grab it by the slice and eat it, um, and I don't think my parents knew, but we don't tell anyways, so kind of moving on to the last section here. Apologies, we're looking at the project questions. So I told you a bit earlier about the website, and I just want to ask you, since this interview is part of a larger project to tell the stories of Latin American and Caribbean Canadians using a website that displays this information. Does this sound like a concept that you would be interested in, or communities in Canada would be interested Speakers 2 16:35 in? I would definitely be interested in it, because I feel that there are a lot of Unknown Speakers 16:42 first gen Speakers 2 16:44 Canadian children that feel neither here nor there in the aspect of you're too Caribbean for the Canadian kids, or you're too Canadian for the Caribbean kids, and just someone that falls in the middle. I feel like it could be very intriguing for like, finding more people like you that can relate to you, whereas you've just been living in a state of Unknown Speakers 17:14 purgatory, in a way, Speakers 1 17:19 absolutely, I think that education, it would bring a lot of education, and would really help to bring a huge asset of history. I'm not sure if we've talked about it as of now, but Toronto, especially Caribbean people, have contributed an immense amount of culture, and even, like the Toronto man accent, a lot of that is just a Caribbean accent. And I think that would be a huge part actually, you know what? Like? Let's speak on it. Um, you've obviously been to Toronto. You're in the GTA, um, how have you seen Caribbean people like influence the culture? Speakers 2 17:58 So, um, I would say that they are a huge influence. However, they are definitely disappointed in the Toronto man action, because 90% of them feel like they're just being mocked. First off, secondly, none. None of those Toronto mans actually sound like that. Speakers 1 18:17 Yeah, no, the one thing on the Speakers 2 18:21 internet, yeah, it's awful. It's so bad. It's It is, yeah, and they're making, they're making a mockery, and they don't care. And I find it so funny and entertaining, but I understand how people are offended by it. Speakers 1 18:40 Yeah, it's something to it's, yeah, it's, I'm not sure, to laugh uncomfortably or to laugh at them, like, what are we doing? It's, you know, what? Lock it up. Truly, I think the most shocking part is when I hear a trauma and accent come from someone in Ottawa. Oh, no, yeah. Um, you know, especially when they are a young child who grew up in, like, suburban Ottawa, it's like, what are we doing? Why? Um, but that's, that's a whole separate conversation. Um, going back to the website for a moment, how would you use this website? Um, I think we kind of already touched on that. But what are some ideas that you personally would contribute to the projects? Unknown Speakers 19:28 I feel like adding, Speakers 2 19:32 like, not a dating app aspect, but like a find a friend aspect, you know, to be able to see, like, if this person's nearby, maybe, like, make a friend. Speakers 1 19:44 Networking, exactly, networking, connecting communities. I think that would actually be really cool. So you want, like, from this website, not only for a place to be educated, but also to connect people a variety. Of cultures sound about right? Yeah, and we can shed light on other Peruvian countries as well. Right? Absolutely, absolutely. And do you have any final comments, questions or concerns that you would like to ask about the project or at all speak your mind, truly? No, we're all good. Okay, well, I think with that, thank you so much for being a part of my interview today. This has been an incredible experience, and I hope that maybe when we get the final project all finished up and done, you'll be able to see it for yourselves. I think with that, we can end things off. Have a good day. Right turn. Thank you so much. Okay, no problem, bye, bye, bye.

Title A name given to the resource Latin American stories from Ottawa Description An account of the resource Ottawa, Canada's capital, is home to a richly diverse community. This reality makes Ottawa great. However, it can also make it difficult for Canadian citizens, residents, and newcomers to know where to start when looking for a community. For the winter 2025 Latin America and the Caribbean class, we endeavoured to inspire our students to explore this diversity through ethnographic interviews. Over thirteen weeks, our students interviewed friends, family, and Ottawa's Latin American and Caribbean community members and the surrounding areas. Our ultimate goal is to create an archive of stories that the Latin community can access at any time, preserving knowledge and promoting their cultures. We invite you to browse the stories collected by our students, listen to the audio recording, and read transcripts and biographies of those interviewed. Oral History A resource containing historical information obtained in interviews with persons having firsthand knowledge. Interviewee The person(s) being interviewed Emmanuelle Interviewer The person(s) performing the interview Sophia Soutyrine Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data In person Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound SOPHIA: Bonjour, je suis ici avec mon amie qui a accepté à faire cette interview qui porte sur les Latino-Américains à Ottawa, et je vais rentrer dans les questions. Tu veux te présenter ? EMMANUELLE: Donc oui, bonjour, mon nom c'est Emmanuel, je suis moitié Nicaragua, moitié Canada, ma mère vient du Nicaragua et mon père vient du Canada, mais je suis née ici au Canada. SOPHIA: Mhm, donc ton pays d'origine, c'est… EMMANUELLE: Le Canada. SOPHIA: Qu'est-ce qui t'a amené à Ottawa ? EMMANUELLE: En fait, ce qui m'a amenée à Ottawa – moi, je suis née à Gatineau, mais ce qui m' amenait à Ottawa c'est vraiment l'étude. Les études, donc du coup j'ai fait mon secondaire, spécialisation d'art plastique à Ottawa ici proche à De La Salle et là maintenant je fais d'autres études à U-Ottawa en développement international ce qui m’avait beaucoup intéressé. Donc les études. SOPHIA: Est-ce que tu as de la famille ici et est-ce que tu les vois souvent ? EMMANUELLE: Du Nicaragua ? SOPHIA: Oui EMMANUELLE: Donc, j'ai la famille du côté de mon papa, mais pas du côté de ma mère. J'ai aucun familier ici. Ils sont tous au Nicaragua, mais je vais quelquefois au Nicaragua au moins, je vais aller une fois par année, un mois. SOPHIA: Mhm, tu restes comme un mois? EMMANUELLE: Oui, c'est ça pour les visiter. SOPHIA: Et puis, est-ce que tu vis dans une communauté ou un quartier latino-américain ici où tu parles l'espagnol? Où l'on parle espagnol beaucoup? EMMANUELLE: Oui, donc avec ma famille, parce que je vis avec ma maman, c'est elle qui vient du Nicaragua, donc oui, on parle l’espagnol assez couramment à la maison, mais à l'extérieur de la maison, je pourrais dire à mon université non, mais j'ai beaucoup d'amis qui parlent espagnols ou des compagnons d'école. Voilà, c'est ça. Donc avec eux, je parle l'espagnol et puis avec ma mère à la maison quelques fois. SOPHIA: Quelles sont les célébrations les plus importantes pour toi? EMMANUELLE: Donc les célébrations, je pourrais dire Noël. C'est une célébration assez générale. Je pourrais dire, au Canada comme au Nicaragua, ces célébrations vraiment, mais j'adore. C’est comme ici, les célébrations au Canada, c'est plus tranquille de mon avis, de ce que j'ai vu. Quand au Nicaragua, ils font des grosses fêtes, ils font beaucoup de nourriture, ils invitent la famille de... un peu partout. Tu comprends? Quand t'a ici, c'est les familles qui sont plus proches. C'est ça que j'ai remarqué. En tout cas, c'est des grosses affaires, des grosses fêtes. SOPHIA: Est-ce que tu célèbres Noël avec, comme tu rassembles la famille? EMMANUELLE: Oui, oui. SOPHIA: C'est donc une grande fête. EMMANUELLE: C’est une grande fête, Oui, c'est une grande, grande célébration. SOPHIA: Est-ce que tu peux me décrire une journée typique dans ta communauté? EMMANUELLE: Donc oui, une journée typique dans ma communauté, normal, je me réveille et puis je fais ma journée avec mes amis, mais c'est pas vraiment différent au Nicaragua, c'est assez similaire. C'est deux communautés qui sont assez similaires. Oui. Mais sauf qu'ici, j'ai remarqué que les gens sont un peu plus froids avec les autres que dans un pays d’Amérique Latine. Un pays d'Amérique Latine je trouve que les gens sont plus, comment te dire, sont plus, entraident, ils entraident les autres, tu comprends, sont plus là pour les autres. Quand t'as ici, c'est plus chacun pour soi. C'est ça que j'ai remarqué. SOPHIA: Est-ce que tu trouves, quand tu es dans un groupe avec d'autres latino-américains, avec tes amis, ils sont plus chaleureux que si tu es avec des Canadiens, on va dire? EMMANUELLE: Oui, parce qu'ils sont très, t'sais, ils jugent pas autant. Je trouve que les Canadiens, ils se sont plus portés à juger ou à plus porter à chacun pour soi. Quant aux latinos, eux, ils vont dire « ah t'as besoin d'aide, viens, je vais t'aider à faire ci ou à faire ça » ou « viens, on va sortir, appelle ton ami, tout le monde en y va, tout l'monde ensemble ». Quant à ici, genre, tu peux pas, tu vas pas dire « oh viens, j'ai une amie de l'ami de l'amie », on va tous sortir ensemble, non. C'est plus, j’ai remarqué, c'est une assez grande différence. SOPHIA: Comment est-ce que tu célèbres ton héritage ? EMMANUELLE: Donc ben moi, je célèbre mon héritage en participant à des fêtes, des événements culturels, genre des fêtes et des festivals à Ottawa, genre à Lansdowne. Précisément, ils font souvent des événements latinos de plusieurs cultures aussi. De plus, comment aussi je célèbre, je pourrais dire en cuisinant des plats traditionnels avec ma mère comme le “Nacatamal” et surtout partager des histoires avec mes copines d'Amérique latine, des trucs arrivés, des places que je préfère, des photos. Voilà. SOPHIA:Et puis il y a beaucoup de, de festivals, c'est vrai. EMMANUELLE: Oui, oui. SOPHIA: Quelles sont les valeurs qui te sont les plus chères en tant que membre de la communauté latino-américaine? EMMANUELLE: Donc pour moi, c'est vraiment la famille, et puis tu pourrais demander à n'importe quel Latino, ils vont dire la famille c'est le plus important. Et puis aussi l'entraide. Exemple, on va toujours être là, présent pour entraider les autres, comme j'avais dit plutôt les Canadiens, je trouve que, comme je viens des 2 cultures, je me suis rendu compte que quand je suis avec des Latinos, je suis sûre que si j'ai besoin d'aide demain matin ils vont être, ils vont venir m'aider ils vont m'assister. Quant aux Canadiens, je me suis dit, bon, c’est, c'est différent, je vois une différence. Donc oui, définitivement, j'dirais la famille et l'entraide. SOPHIA: Qu'est-ce que tu aimerais partager sur toi-même ou de ta communauté? Et qu'est-ce que tu juges qui est plus important que les gens sachent de ta communauté, ta culture? EMMANUELLE: Okay, bin moi je dirais que j'aimerais plus que les gens voient la diversité, comme que la diversité culturelle, c'est une richesse. Et aussi être issu d'un mélange comme le Nicaragua et le Canada, bin ça m'a appris aussi à apprécier toutes les cultures, à être fière de ce métissage. SOPHIA: Um, ok, quel plat est-ce que tu cuisines qui te rappelles de ton pays d'origine? EMMANUELLE: Donc moi, au Nicaragua eux, ce qu'ils mangent c'est vraiment des “frijoles”, frijoles c’est like beans. SOPHIA: Les haricots. EMMANUELLE: Les haricots, les haricots noirs avec, aussi eux ils mangent avec du fromage, des plantains frits. Donc moi le matin je pourrais dire je donne un exemple, je mélange les 2, donc du coup des fois je sais pas, je mets des œufs comme ils font, je mets des haricots noirs, du riz, des plantains et je rajoute du bacon. Donc du coup tu as les 2, j'ai les 2, j’ai Canada et Nicaragua dedans et c'est vraiment le mélange. Des fois, c'est vraiment intéressant. SOPHIA: Oui. Est-ce que tu fais tes courses, ou, où est-ce que tu fais tes courses pour préparer les repas traditionnels? Est-ce qu’il y a des endroits. EMMANUELLE: Oui il y a des endroits oui, y’en a plusieurs à Ottawa, um, y a la Fiesta Latina, y a, y a aussi, d'autres y’en a d'autres, mais ils sont plus à Ottawa, y’en a pas à Gatineau. À Gatineau y’en a pas, mais à Ottawa, il y en avait certain que j'ai trouvé intéressant. Y’a pas autant de produits nicaraguayens, mais de produit salvadorien soit assez similaire à ceux de Nicaragua. Donc des fois il y a même des restaurants salvadoriens au latino, que je peux trouver de la nourriture que des fois on mange où on achète de de la place donc. SOPHIA: Donc tu trouves qu’il y pas trop de produits de ton pays spécifiquement EMMANUELLE:Non, non, non, non. SOPHIA: Mais ils sont similaires. EMMANUELLE: Plus Mexique, Colombie. Mais oui, ils sont assez similaires SOPHIA: Dans quelle mesure est-ce que tu, Ok donc tu sais le, cette interview va être mise sur un site web avec d'autres interviews avec d'autres gens de l'Amérique Latine. Um, Dans quelle mesure est-ce que tu es susceptible à utiliser le site web que nous avons créé? EMMANUELLE: C'est intéressant que tu me dis ça parce que, um, j'aimerais ça voir d'autres personnes comme moi, qui est moitié latino moitié canadiens. Parce que tu sais ici au Canada je vois beaucoup de latinos mais y a pas beaucoup de moitiés latinos canadiens autant, tu comprends, oui ils sont au Canada mais ils sont 100% latinos. Donc je trouve ça intéressant de pouvoir, je sais pas, pouvoir consulter le site web, pour écouter certains reportages de d'autres personnes, tu sais qui, qui est là, qui s'identifient comme moi, Moitié canadien, moitié latino, même nicaraguayen. Ça serait super intéressant si je pourrais trouver un reportage qui parle de ça, et m'identifier dans ces reportages. SOPHIA: Oui, puis voir les similarités. EMMANUELLE: Voila. SOPHIA: Est-ce que tu as d'autres commentaires que tu veux apporter ou des préoccupations? EMMANUELLE: Non, c'est c'est très intéressant ce que vous faites. Continuer comme à faire des reportages, c'est, c'est intéressant. J'aime bien SOPHIA: Merci, Emmanuelle. EMMANUELLE: Merci à toi. Bonne journée SOPHIA: Bye. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Conversation with Emmanuelle Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2025-03-13 Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource MP3, 8 min 51 s Language A language of the resource French Description An account of the resource I interviewed Emmanuelle, a close friend of mine since high school. She is half Nicaraguan and half Canadian, born in Canada and currently living in Gatineau. Emmanuelle comes to Ottawa for her studies and attends the University of Ottawa. Although she grew up in Canada, she stays closely connected to her Latin American roots through her family, Nicaraguan food, cultural festivals, and visits to Nicaragua. She also has many friends from across Latin America, where she recognizes shared values and experiences. Emmanuelle embraces a blend of both cultures in her daily life, balancing Canadian experiences with her Nicaraguan heritage. https://omeka.uottawa.ca/anthroharvest/files/original/bd9c4231f84cba7adc6fcec987fd652d.jpeg c6fd6107a6f7dfd0e31065b1679ba2a6 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource uOttawa Time Capsule 2025 Subject The topic of the resource According to Google AI, "A digital time capsule is a curated collection of digital assets, like photos, videos, and documents, intended to capture a specific moment, person, or theme and be preserved and shared in the future." In our case, this time capsule reflects important objects, places, and ephemera that illustrate campus life in fall 2025. All were chosen by the students who were participant-observers of their own cultures. The students not only chose and photographed the objects, but they also wrote the stories or narratives associated with them. Description An account of the resource The culture of the University of Ottawa can be understood through the everyday objects that define student life. It begins with the uOttawa student card, the first sign of belonging. Paired with a Gee-Gees lanyard or a bilingual business card, it reflects the university’s bilingual identity and its position as a meeting point between English and French. This duality shapes how students learn, communicate, and represent themselves both on and off campus. Student culture at uOttawa is also reflected in what people wear. Levi’s jeans, University of Ottawa hoodies, sherpa jacket, and Telfer sweatshirts show how clothing blends comfort, pride, and practicality. The 101er Frosh T-shirt and Shine Day shirt add another layer of meaning, symbolizing both community and philanthropy. Frosh week introduces students to campus life, while Shine Day connects them to broader causes like Cystic Fibrosis Canada. Together, they show that school spirit at uOttawa extends beyond academics. The academic side of university life is seen in objects like the Apple products, headphones, notepaper, laptop stickers, syllabus, water bottles, and criminology string bags that fill classrooms and study spaces. These represent both creativity and routine. The Tim Hortons coffee cup might seem simple, but it captures a familiar ritual across campus. Coffee runs are part of the rhythm of student life, a shared pause in busy days. School pride and social life also find expression in items like Panda Game tickets and the Pedro Panda Trophy. These objects represent one of uOttawa’s biggest traditions, a yearly football rivalry with Carleton University that brings students together in celebration. Moments like this create a strong sense of community, even among a large and diverse student body. The Orange Shirt acknowledges the atrocities and suffering experienced by those who attended residential schools in Canada as part of the national Truth and Reconciliation mandate to honor Indigenous peoples. Finally, artifacts such as the U Cup mug, beer glasses from Father and Son's, a Prusa 3D printer, and even O-Frango’s—a popular student food stop, represent the blend of innovation and everyday culture. They show how uOttawa combines research, creativity, and social connection in a way that feels uniquely its own. Taken together, these objects tell a story about identity and community. The culture of uOttawa is defined by hard work, inclusivity, and pride, but also by small moments of connection. From the student card to the Panda Game, each item reflects how students experience and shape university life every day. Physical Object An inanimate, three-dimensional object or substance. Note that digital representations of, or surrogates for, these objects should use Moving Image, Still Image, Text or one of the other types.

Title A name given to the resource uOttawa Time Capsule 2025 Subject The topic of the resource According to Google AI, "A digital time capsule is a curated collection of digital assets, like photos, videos, and documents, intended to capture a specific moment, person, or theme and be preserved and shared in the future." In our case, this time capsule reflects important objects, places, and ephemera that illustrate campus life in fall 2025. All were chosen by the students who were participant-observers of their own cultures. The students not only chose and photographed the objects, but they also wrote the stories or narratives associated with them. Description An account of the resource The culture of the University of Ottawa can be understood through the everyday objects that define student life. It begins with the uOttawa student card, the first sign of belonging. Paired with a Gee-Gees lanyard or a bilingual business card, it reflects the university’s bilingual identity and its position as a meeting point between English and French. This duality shapes how students learn, communicate, and represent themselves both on and off campus. Student culture at uOttawa is also reflected in what people wear. Levi’s jeans, University of Ottawa hoodies, sherpa jacket, and Telfer sweatshirts show how clothing blends comfort, pride, and practicality. The 101er Frosh T-shirt and Shine Day shirt add another layer of meaning, symbolizing both community and philanthropy. Frosh week introduces students to campus life, while Shine Day connects them to broader causes like Cystic Fibrosis Canada. Together, they show that school spirit at uOttawa extends beyond academics. The academic side of university life is seen in objects like the Apple products, headphones, notepaper, laptop stickers, syllabus, water bottles, and criminology string bags that fill classrooms and study spaces. These represent both creativity and routine. The Tim Hortons coffee cup might seem simple, but it captures a familiar ritual across campus. Coffee runs are part of the rhythm of student life, a shared pause in busy days. School pride and social life also find expression in items like Panda Game tickets and the Pedro Panda Trophy. These objects represent one of uOttawa’s biggest traditions, a yearly football rivalry with Carleton University that brings students together in celebration. Moments like this create a strong sense of community, even among a large and diverse student body. The Orange Shirt acknowledges the atrocities and suffering experienced by those who attended residential schools in Canada as part of the national Truth and Reconciliation mandate to honor Indigenous peoples. Finally, artifacts such as the U Cup mug, beer glasses from Father and Son's, a Prusa 3D printer, and even O-Frango’s—a popular student food stop, represent the blend of innovation and everyday culture. They show how uOttawa combines research, creativity, and social connection in a way that feels uniquely its own. Taken together, these objects tell a story about identity and community. The culture of uOttawa is defined by hard work, inclusivity, and pride, but also by small moments of connection. From the student card to the Panda Game, each item reflects how students experience and shape university life every day.

Title A name given to the resource Panda Games Tickets Subject The topic of the resource Admission ticket Description An account of the resource The Panda Games are an annual event in which the University of Ottawa plays a high-stakes game of American Football against Carleton University. There has been a long standing rivalry between the two universities, resulting in these tickets becoming a hot commodity. Typically, sides are chosen for each team’s university to sit at, and these sides are displayed as the tickets are purchased. It was also common for the audience of the winning university to bypass their safety restraints and go onto the playing field, known as “storming the field.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ticketmaster Inc.; University of Ottawa Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived University of Ottawa’s “Panda Game” website page, which linked to the Ticketmaster page to purchase tickets.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Item purchased October 24, 2025 Type The nature or genre of the resource Physical object - cup Language A language of the resource English Description An account of the resource Coffee is a hot, dark and bitter drink that contains coffee beans and caffeine. This beverage powered by caffeine fuels countless students through long lectures, study sessions, and general daily routines. This drink has become a powerful staple of campus culture. It is used by thousands of uOttawa students as a tool to combat fatigue, enhance focus, and improve mood to help students navigate academic life and complete tasks such as studying, homework, and assignments. Coffee is particularly valued during periods of high stress, such as exam seasons. Coffee is also consumed by students out of academic contexts because of the appealing taste. Coffee can be purchased at several locations on the uOttawa campus, and many more locations in the surrounding area. On campus, some popular locations include Tim Hortons (145 Jean-Jacques-Lussier Pvt), Second Cup Coffee (65 University Pvt), and Starbucks (55 Laurier Ave E). Because of the high demand for coffee by the student body, these locations are open every day of the business week, and even regularly employ students.

Title A name given to the resource Laptop Stickers Subject The topic of the resource Personalization, customization, accessories, stickers Description An account of the resource A sticker is an image that is sealed between plastic or vinyl, and some sort of adhesive so it sticks (hence the name stickers). These stickers are then placed on laptops, notebooks, or water bottles, as a form of non-verbal communication between students. Usually, these objects are used to convey information to other people in their "groups," for example people who enjoy sports might use a sticker with their favourite team's logo to convey to other sports fans that they too like sports. These stickers can be bought online or homemade. Homemade stickers are usually made using parchment paper, tape, and whatever image one would want to make into a sticker, much like commercial stickers, yet way more personal to the user, as there is the connection of making it. Many people opt to leave their laptops blank. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stickers can be acquired from various retailers, or handmade.

This space is a part of Centre of Entrepreneurship and Engineering Design (CEED) and is a crucial aspect of the engineering faculty . Back in 2017, the only printers available were the UltiMakers released in 2013. In Summer 2025, CEED acquired two Prusa MK4S in MakerSpace. This place is available to all students and staff members of uOttawa. It is useful to engineering students for many of their classes, but it is also used for personal projects by other faculties. In prior years, access to the printing machines was free. As of Fall 2025, costs of ten dollars are included in tuition fees of engineering programs. For other members of the community, a few options are offered; it is free on Sundays, they can buy a day pass for 5$ or pay 25$ for a semester with unlimited use. Since 2017, Richard L'Abbé Makerspace and its 3D printers have been part of the culture, but the Prusa MK4S are truly unique to the current culture now in 2025 and have changed how things work in general.

In our case, this time capsule reflects important objects, places, and ephemera that illustrate campus life in fall 2025. All were chosen by the students who were participant-observers of their own cultures. The students not only chose and photographed the objects, but they also wrote the stories or narratives associated with them. Description An account of the resource The culture of the University of Ottawa can be understood through the everyday objects that define student life. It begins with the uOttawa student card, the first sign of belonging. Paired with a Gee-Gees lanyard or a bilingual business card, it reflects the university’s bilingual identity and its position as a meeting point between English and French. This duality shapes how students learn, communicate, and represent themselves both on and off campus. Student culture at uOttawa is also reflected in what people wear. Levi’s jeans, University of Ottawa hoodies, sherpa jacket, and Telfer sweatshirts show how clothing blends comfort, pride, and practicality. The 101er Frosh T-shirt and Shine Day shirt add another layer of meaning, symbolizing both community and philanthropy. Frosh week introduces students to campus life, while Shine Day connects them to broader causes like Cystic Fibrosis Canada. Together, they show that school spirit at uOttawa extends beyond academics. The academic side of university life is seen in objects like the Apple products, headphones, notepaper, laptop stickers, syllabus, water bottles, and criminology string bags that fill classrooms and study spaces. These represent both creativity and routine. The Tim Hortons coffee cup might seem simple, but it captures a familiar ritual across campus. Coffee runs are part of the rhythm of student life, a shared pause in busy days. School pride and social life also find expression in items like Panda Game tickets and the Pedro Panda Trophy. These objects represent one of uOttawa’s biggest traditions, a yearly football rivalry with Carleton University that brings students together in celebration. Moments like this create a strong sense of community, even among a large and diverse student body. The Orange Shirt acknowledges the atrocities and suffering experienced by those who attended residential schools in Canada as part of the national Truth and Reconciliation mandate to honor Indigenous peoples. Finally, artifacts such as the U Cup mug, beer glasses from Father and Son's, a Prusa 3D printer, and even O-Frango’s—a popular student food stop, represent the blend of innovation and everyday culture. They show how uOttawa combines research, creativity, and social connection in a way that feels uniquely its own. Taken together, these objects tell a story about identity and community. The culture of uOttawa is defined by hard work, inclusivity, and pride, but also by small moments of connection. From the student card to the Panda Game, each item reflects how students experience and shape university life every day.

Title A name given to the resource uOttawa Time Capsule 2025 Subject The topic of the resource According to Google AI, "A digital time capsule is a curated collection of digital assets, like photos, videos, and documents, intended to capture a specific moment, person, or theme and be preserved and shared in the future." In our case, this time capsule reflects important objects, places, and ephemera that illustrate campus life in fall 2025. All were chosen by the students who were participant-observers of their own cultures. The students not only chose and photographed the objects, but they also wrote the stories or narratives associated with them. Description An account of the resource The culture of the University of Ottawa can be understood through the everyday objects that define student life. It begins with the uOttawa student card, the first sign of belonging. Paired with a Gee-Gees lanyard or a bilingual business card, it reflects the university’s bilingual identity and its position as a meeting point between English and French. This duality shapes how students learn, communicate, and represent themselves both on and off campus. Student culture at uOttawa is also reflected in what people wear. Levi’s jeans, University of Ottawa hoodies, sherpa jacket, and Telfer sweatshirts show how clothing blends comfort, pride, and practicality. The 101er Frosh T-shirt and Shine Day shirt add another layer of meaning, symbolizing both community and philanthropy. Frosh week introduces students to campus life, while Shine Day connects them to broader causes like Cystic Fibrosis Canada. Together, they show that school spirit at uOttawa extends beyond academics. The academic side of university life is seen in objects like the Apple products, headphones, notepaper, laptop stickers, syllabus, water bottles, and criminology string bags that fill classrooms and study spaces. These represent both creativity and routine. The Tim Hortons coffee cup might seem simple, but it captures a familiar ritual across campus. Coffee runs are part of the rhythm of student life, a shared pause in busy days. School pride and social life also find expression in items like Panda Game tickets and the Pedro Panda Trophy. These objects represent one of uOttawa’s biggest traditions, a yearly football rivalry with Carleton University that brings students together in celebration. Moments like this create a strong sense of community, even among a large and diverse student body. The Orange Shirt acknowledges the atrocities and suffering experienced by those who attended residential schools in Canada as part of the national Truth and Reconciliation mandate to honor Indigenous peoples. Finally, artifacts such as the U Cup mug, beer glasses from Father and Son's, a Prusa 3D printer, and even O-Frango’s—a popular student food stop, represent the blend of innovation and everyday culture. They show how uOttawa combines research, creativity, and social connection in a way that feels uniquely its own. Taken together, these objects tell a story about identity and community. The culture of uOttawa is defined by hard work, inclusivity, and pride, but also by small moments of connection. From the student card to the Panda Game, each item reflects how students experience and shape university life every day.

Whether it contains coffee, tea or simply water, this drinking vessel is unmistakable on a university campus in 2025.

Title A name given to the resource Bluetooth Headphones Subject The topic of the resource Popular earwear/ headwear Description An account of the resource Apple earphones and headphones are one of the most popular electronic gadgets among students and professors for their ability to block out noise effectively and create a comfortable environment when working or studying in public spaces on campus. They allow for a customizable experience dedicated to every individual’s need. Some individuals may use them to block out noise or eliminate unwanted distractions while studying or working, and other individuals may play music in the background to help focus on the task at hand. They're also a great option for students who cannot book private study rooms but need to listen to video lectures on campus. This photo was taken at the Apple store directly across campus to show just how easy and simple it is to get access to these electronic gadgets.

Title A name given to the resource uOttawa Time Capsule 2025 Subject The topic of the resource According to Google AI, "A digital time capsule is a curated collection of digital assets, like photos, videos, and documents, intended to capture a specific moment, person, or theme and be preserved and shared in the future." In our case, this time capsule reflects important objects, places, and ephemera that illustrate campus life in fall 2025. All were chosen by the students who were participant-observers of their own cultures. The students not only chose and photographed the objects, but they also wrote the stories or narratives associated with them. Description An account of the resource The culture of the University of Ottawa can be understood through the everyday objects that define student life. It begins with the uOttawa student card, the first sign of belonging. Paired with a Gee-Gees lanyard or a bilingual business card, it reflects the university’s bilingual identity and its position as a meeting point between English and French. This duality shapes how students learn, communicate, and represent themselves both on and off campus. Student culture at uOttawa is also reflected in what people wear. Levi’s jeans, University of Ottawa hoodies, sherpa jacket, and Telfer sweatshirts show how clothing blends comfort, pride, and practicality. The 101er Frosh T-shirt and Shine Day shirt add another layer of meaning, symbolizing both community and philanthropy. Frosh week introduces students to campus life, while Shine Day connects them to broader causes like Cystic Fibrosis Canada. Together, they show that school spirit at uOttawa extends beyond academics. The academic side of university life is seen in objects like the Apple products, headphones, notepaper, laptop stickers, syllabus, water bottles, and criminology string bags that fill classrooms and study spaces. These represent both creativity and routine. The Tim Hortons coffee cup might seem simple, but it captures a familiar ritual across campus. Coffee runs are part of the rhythm of student life, a shared pause in busy days. School pride and social life also find expression in items like Panda Game tickets and the Pedro Panda Trophy. These objects represent one of uOttawa’s biggest traditions, a yearly football rivalry with Carleton University that brings students together in celebration. Moments like this create a strong sense of community, even among a large and diverse student body. The Orange Shirt acknowledges the atrocities and suffering experienced by those who attended residential schools in Canada as part of the national Truth and Reconciliation mandate to honor Indigenous peoples. Finally, artifacts such as the U Cup mug, beer glasses from Father and Son's, a Prusa 3D printer, and even O-Frango’s—a popular student food stop, represent the blend of innovation and everyday culture. They show how uOttawa combines research, creativity, and social connection in a way that feels uniquely its own. Taken together, these objects tell a story about identity and community. The culture of uOttawa is defined by hard work, inclusivity, and pride, but also by small moments of connection. From the student card to the Panda Game, each item reflects how students experience and shape university life every day.
