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 Owala FreeSip 24 oz Water Bottle Subject The topic of the resource A water bottle Description An account of the resource When it comes to water bottles that students use, there is a variety in terms of brands. Based on our observations, the main target audience of this brand of water bottle is female, due to their fashionable appearance and diverse colors. Despite water bottles being meant as reusable items in which you don't need several, it has been observed that students keep buying new ones. The current trend in part determines what water bottle brands students are getting. This influence comes in the form of videos on social media promoting how much better a particular water bottle is than the last one. To keep up with each new water bottle coming out. They are promoted as another accessory to carry around.

Title A name given to the resource Latin American & Caribbean Organizations Subject The topic of the resource collection of organizations designed to support and uplift Latin and Caribbean people in Canada. Description An account of the resource <div style="text-align: left; margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;">As the capital of Canada, Ottawa is a city rich in diverse cultures and communities from around the world. Relocating to Canda from the southern hemisphere is a significant shift and challenge. For these immigrants, they face obstacles, including finding people who are culturally similar. Thankfully, there are many aid organizations which connect people with help. In this section of AnthroHarvest, we showcase a few of these groups. They do not just celebrate immigrant cultures, they give them the chance to meet others and learn how to adjust to Canadian life. There are language classes, cultural events, and get-togethers. Each group is different. Some groups focus on keeping languages and traditions alive. Other groups help artists show their work. They provide spaces for people to meet and talk. All of these groups together illustrate the strength of Latin American and Caribbean communities here. In the collections below, you will find more information about them: the Jamaican Ottawa Community Association, the Barbados Ottawa Association, Canada Habla Español, the Humanitarian Organization of Latin American Students, the Latin Hub and the Latin American Soldiers Committee in Canada. Specifically, we hope to emphasize different events, fundraisers, and resources they have, how to contact them and/or join their association, their social media pages, and a short description of the organization itself.</div> Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Cover Photo: Day of the Dead altar commemorating Québec artist Jean Paul Riopelle at Maison du Citoyen Photo taken by Noémie Burrs Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Taylor Paterson, Soorya Hedayat Omar, Racheal Agofure, Zainab Oyejobi, Amy May Lajeunesse and Roodmya Douge.

Title A name given to the resource <a href="https://www.canadahablaespanol.org/copy-of-saskatchewan">Canadá Habla Español (Ottawa Chapter)</a> Description An account of the resource Canada Habla Español (CANHE) is a Canadian-based organization that operates in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Ontario - Ottawa, that encourages the preservation and promotion of the Spanish language. Their mission, here, in Ottawa, is to help expand access to Spanish-language education, while also celebrating the identity and traditions of Spanish speakers of the region. They actively support the development of Spanish-speaking communities across Canada and the preservation of the Spanish language. It was founded by Ericka Aguilera, an active member and advocate of various Canadian-Hispanic communities, who was born in Mexico. With her are her co-founders, Luz Madroñera and Carolina Testa, from Colombia and Argentina respectfully.  CANHE regularly hosts celebratory and educational events across its seven different chapters, including their yearly Spanish Language Day celebration in April, where you will find a panoply of lectures, panels, and musical numbers to celebrate the Spanish language: all are welcome! They debuted this celebration in Ottawa last year at the Embassy of Spain in Canada, and it will henceforth be celebrated in Ottawa yearly.  They also host a “youngpreneur” program, which aims to provide students with alternative educational paths while helping them connect with the Spanish language and Hispanic heritage. These workshops, conferences, and events allow students to learn from different individuals in their community and develop key skills. Follow their events and updates on the CANHE website and on their social media pages!

Title A name given to the resource Apple Computer Subject The topic of the resource Online learning, Brightspace, student computing, students’ digital life Description An account of the resource The computer is the single most important item during a student’s time at the University of Ottawa. It is the medium in which students can access Brightspace, a website where students can submit and receive assignments as well as engage in class discussions, send and receive emails through Outlook, create their class schedule, apply for bursaries, receive tax forms through their student portal (UOzone), research (Omni), and take notes (Word). The computer is also very useful for a student outside of school use; it is a necessary product for all students. While the specific MacBook Air 15” may not be the most common model, the Apple brand itself clearly dominates among students. Each person tends to choose the version that fits their preferences, but the Apple logo is what ties them all together. The MacBook stands out with its fast performance, built-in features such as AirDrop, iMessage, and FaceTime. This is what makes it easy for students to connect and share work. While owning a MacBook can feel like a status symbol, it also represents belonging to the image of the modern, connected student.

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 Latin American stories from Ottawa Description An account of the resource <div style="text-align: left; margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;">Beginning in Winter 2025, Professor Laurie Weinstein in ANT3340: Latin American and the Caribbean created Anthroharvest with the goal of inspiring students to explore the diversity of our city through ethnographic interviews. This collection stands as a pillar of students' ongoing efforts to interview friends, family, and members of Ottawa's Latin American and Caribbean communities in surrounding areas. Our ultimate goal is to create an archive of stories for those who identify with the Latin American and Caribbean community, accessible at any time, that preserves knowledge and promotes their cultures. Our project remains ongoing as we learn and connect with new students and people across Ottawa and eastern Canada. We invite you to browse the stories collected by our students, listen to the audio recording, and read transcripts and biographies of those interviewed. </div> Oral History A resource containing historical information obtained in interviews with persons having firsthand knowledge.

The purpose of this meeting is for us to conduct an ethnographic interview for anthropology class. These are my classmates, and this is Shameena. She's my friend's mom, and she's from Guyana that's how I know her. So I'm just going to introduce my classmates briefly to you. That's Catriona, that's Sam, I'm Ashmi, this is Lexi, and this is Cordelia. Shameena: 00:00:28: It's nice to meet all of you wonderful ladies. It's nice to meet you too. Cordelia: 00:00:33: We just wanted to go over what exactly we're doing here. So this interview will be uploaded to a site called Anthro Harvest, which was created by our professor and our TA. It's essentially an online database, kind of like a giant library almost, where all of the interviews conducted in class will be put up there to be able to be accessed for future research. Shameena: 00:00:58: Great initiative, love it. Cordelia 00:01:01: So, to start with the questions, what brought you to Ottawa? Shameena: 00:01:06: So, if it's alright, I'm going to be transparent; I don't live in Ottawa. Is that okay? I live in Toronto. Interview group: 00:01:12: It should be, yeah. Shameena: 00:01:14: That's fine? Okay, because I think the same concept will apply. What you're trying to do right from this interview will still be applicable to your purpose. So, what brought me to Toronto. So I came to Toronto when I was 16 years old. Well, let's talk about Canada, I came to Canada when I was 16 years old. I came with my family. I came as a young child with two siblings and a mom and a dad, and essentially, we came to Canada for better opportunities. To live in a country where we can have access to better education, better healthcare, you know, a better life, good standard of living, so to speak, better food options, you know, more stability, and to be in a different environment where, you know, you can blend and be accepted, and that's Canada for us. So my dad decided to bring us here so that we can have and experience all of those things. Cordelia: 00:02:27: Gosh, that's a really good kind of answer for that question. So you mentioned you came with family. Do some of your family members still live in Toronto? Shameena: 00:02:37: Yes, yes. My parents still live in Toronto. Unfortunately, I lost my mom last year. But along with that, I have my dad still alive, I have two sisters and a brother in close proximity, we all live within 20 minutes of each other. Cordelia: 00:02:56: Oh, perfect. So do you see-- And? Shameena: 00:02:58 My friend also has his parents alive and well, and lots of extended family. So the Guyanese culture, I don't think I mentioned earlier, I'm from Guyana, right? So originally we came from Guyana. So the Guyanese culture family is huge, and so extended family is so important. So you maintain those relationships. Cordelia: 00:03:19: And do you see them all frequently? Shameena: 00:03:22: Yes, all the time because we often get together for birthdays or holidays or religious ceremonies, prayers, things like that. So, and you know, you just get together for no reason at all. Because that's what family needs to bring, especially because we are so invested in family. It's deep-rooted in our culture that family is important. Lexi: 00:03:56: Hi there. Hi, how are you? Shameena: 00:04:02: Good. Lexi: 00:04:04: Good, awesome. So you were talking about all of the various celebrations that you all experienced together like birthdays. Which is like really cool. So I know you live in Toronto, but do you live in a Caribbean community or neighborhood where people do speak your native language? Shameena: 00:04:23 So fortunately for us Guyana is one of the only English speaking countries in the Caribbean so English is our first language an English-speaking country in the Caribbean, so English is our first language. We have something called Patois, which is spoken English. We sometimes call it Creoles, which sort of it deviates from the English language because we were British ruled. So when slaves, eventually slaves came to Guyana, Indians, they had their language, which could have been from Hindi, Urdu, Pakistani, all of those things. Then that was sort of changed because of the British and so we were taught, like going up in Guyana, going to school in Guyana, we were taught fully English, all the courses, everything is done in English. So, yeah, no, sorry, I lost. My train of thought. Lexi: 00:05:26 No, that was perfect. That was a perfect answer to that question. So my next question to you is, are there any sort of celebrations that are like really important to you and your culture also? Shameena: 00:05:38 Oh, absolutely. So there's a cultural aspect and then there is religious celebration, right? So culturally in Guyana as a community, if you're living there, you're celebrating things like Caribbean days and culturally you have like traditional things, like the equivalent here would be in Canada, would be in Toronto, here in Guyana. Where we celebrate huge festivities and food and music and costumes and things like that, right? So absolutely, we celebrate, the culture we celebrate as a community. But then religiously, we have Guyana, it's very diverse, and even Canada, we're so diverse here, comparatively, that you have celebrations of different religious holidays that are happening. In Guyana, growing up, things like Diwali in the Hindu culture and religion is celebrated in the whole community, or Pakwa, celebrated in the whole community. For the Muslim religion, you have things like Eid celebrated again by the whole community celebrates together. And similarly for the Christians, you have Christmas that's celebrated across the community. And then in Canada, I know it's a little bit more individual, but you share, we still have shared cultural, you know, things like Christmas we all celebrate together, but the neighbors will still share their festivities, their food, and invite you, so you're still able to taste some of that here in Canada, but not on the same scale, I think, in Guyana. It's so nice to be able to experience that here. Lexi: 00:07:35 Oh, that's lovely. I'm going to pass the phone to Ashmi. Ashmi: 00:07:39 Hello. So adding on, another question is, can you describe how a typical day in your community would look like? Shameena: 00:07:47 Well, that's-- in Guyana, I'll start with Guyana, as a child growing up, a typical day in my community would be just, you know, great food, like just cooking food and planning a food for that day. So you would have the local markets would come around and, you know, I remember my mom just waiting for after breakfast is finished and waiting for the market, community market person to come along with your protein and your vegetables. So, you know, community market is very important. They like supporting local businesses within your neighborhood. And that's how you would plan your meal, okay? And then you're getting together just... regular chit chat, like you have community neighborhood getting together and just having a, you know, some tea, coffee, sharing thoughts. It's very much a community-based village where people just get together. You can't find your mom then she's at the neighbor's house, right? So it's beautiful that way where everyone gets to spend time together. It's very, and I see shared, it's a shared sort of space, right? How do I compare that to Canada in a typical community day? I mean, we try to emulate that world, but it's very hard to do that here. So you're staying close and connected to family. So, you know, for me, my regular day, I make sure I get up in the morning, I prepare for work, but I make sure I connect with my sister and my brothers and my aunts and uncles, checking on my dad, checking on my kids, making sure everybody's good, you know. So you try to still maintain some of that cultural traditions that you are used to, right? Ashmi: 00:09:54 I really love how you talked about the sense of community and belonging. I think that's really important and kind of like, it's different in Canada when you comparatively talk about that. But adding on, another question is, how do you celebrate your heritage? Shameena: 00:10:12 How I celebrate my heritage. I think the most important thing for us is food and music. I think that's what's really important, and that's really what separates us community from another community, but it's important to share in that. So, you know, I often hear I love to go visit the different festivals. So last year I did, it kind of in Brenton, so Brenton we had different festivals going on, so we had a huge mountain festival in one of our squares there and the music and the food is very different from what I am used to and similarly we have when we have Caravana people come out and share in our culture and our food so Canada allows you to be able to still experience that on that grand stage where you know you can actually go you have Taste of Danforth coming up they're trying to reinvent here in Toronto as well so I'm excited about that but yeah similarly all traditions, all cultures are celebrated here. Toronto is so multicultural, so diverse, and it makes me feel just great at home because I'm able to still experience that. But definitely the food and the music for us, yes. Sam: 00:11:33 And then we want to ask, what are some Guyanese values that you hold most dear? Shameena: 00:11:41 Well, again, respect for family, coming to me, right? Taking care of your elderly, like making sure that you are looking after your parents. Hard work, hard work is really important for us. You know, going out there and earning your living and making sure you're doing the best you can, putting out the best version of yourself. And again, celebrating our food, our music, togetherness, and maintaining that community closeness. Whether it's your neighbors, and it doesn't have to be Guyanese neighbors, it could be any other culture, but you try to build up within your own community. Sam: 00:12:24 I really love that. And then we wanted to know if there's anything you wanted to share about yourself or your community that you think is really important for people to know. Shameena: 00:12:33 Well, I do want to let you know, Guyana is a very diverse country, and we have six different nation races. In Guyana, and it's diverse because of centuries of migration from different places, right? And I'll tell you, we have [inaudible word], we have, so we have indigenous people. And indigenous people there, we have a special food that they make called pepperpot, which is delicious, right? And that's one of our traditional foods. We'll make the food when we celebrate important occasions like Eid and Christmas and things like that. We always make pepperpot, you have to have your people there. We have Africans brought over by the transatlantic slave trade that came to Guyana. So we have indigenous people, we have Africans, we have Indians that came over through indentured slaves, laborers from Pakistan and India. We have Chinese and Portuguese migrants that came, we have Europeans, and we have Middle Eastern communities as well. So we have a whole host of different race that migrated to Guyana, each with different-- some have different languages and religions and traditions and cultures, but all integrated into one big country. Yeah. Catriona: 00:13:54 Thank you for sharing that. Our next question really ties into that as well. And it would take it one step further and say, where in Toronto do you go to purchase your groceries to make these traditional meals? Shameena: 00:14:06 I am glad somebody asked that everywhere, with living in Toronto. You do not miss a beat when it comes to the best West Indian food. And for me too, it's all about religious, not only cultural, but religious as well. So having the ability to be able to be a Guyanese woman and enjoying and maintaining that culture from the food perspective, but also from the religious perspective, to be able to obtain, like, for example, halal meat, kosher meat, and to be able to go to a mosque where I could break fast anywhere. And given this is the month of Ramadan for us, similarly, we would experience the same in Guyana. You could walk to the mosque and you would have all kinds of food at the mosque, I'm able to experience the same here in Toronto. I have mosques in every different direction, five, 10 minutes from my house, that I can go and enjoy breaking up the fast there and enjoy Ramadan and just this community closeness with everyone. Catriona: 00:15:09 Thank you so much. Our next question is more tying back to the Anthroharvest website itself that we mentioned earlier. How likely would you and maybe your family be to use the website that we are creating to upload these stories? And how would you use it in general? And also any suggestions that you may have about access and what should be posted. Shameena: 00:15:32 Well, certainly, I would definitely use it if I would find value in it first. And so once I try it and I launch it, then I see that there's a value here for me, but not only for me, but I can add value for other people to benefit from it. And also, you know, it's important that it's accessible, so when you guys are considering something like that. You wanted to make it user-friendly, accessible, different languages, considering different disability and things like that so that you can allow people to benefit from it. And because that's your intention, you want the more people to visit it and obtain some form of benefit from it. Catriona: 00:16:15 Absolutely. Do you have any other comments or concerns at all about any of the questions you've been asked or anything you want to add? Shameena: 00:16:22 And I think it's wonderful, too, that, you know, this is an opportunity for you guys to indulge in other culture and understand heritage and history from other cultures and making, bringing awareness to it through the website that you're making and launching. Ashmi: 00:16:42 Well, we just wanted to thank you for your time. I know it must be hard doing this with your busy work schedule, with Ramadan especially, but we really appreciate you taking the time for meeting with us and all your questions or your comments and all the information you gave us. So thank you very much. Shameena: 00:16:59 My pleasure. I'm honored that you picked me. I feel very honored to be able to speak. Oftentimes we don't get to speak about heritage and history or where we come from.

She explained that her father decided to bring them to Toronto because he saw Canada as offering his family better opportunities, education, health care, food, and a higher standard of living. Shameena explained that, luckily, Guyana is one of the few predominantly English-speaking places in the Caribbean, which made coming to Toronto easier, as she and her younger siblings were already proficient in the city's main language. Shameena speaks lovingly about her home in Toronto, where she has established a strong community not only of Guyanese people but also of people of the same religion, and she deeply appreciates the way she can engage with religion locally. Beyond her faith, Shameena describes the primary focus of Guyanese culture to be food and family. Extended family relations are weighted similarly to close relations, as everyone is included in traditions and events. Even without specific social events, families still gather regularly. Food strengthens their cultural roots. Despite immigration from Guyana to Toronto, she continues to uphold her culinary practices and familiar dishes. There are also specialized markets where Guyanese can purchase food for cultural dishes. Given that Toronto is a large and diverse city, Shameena states that Guyanese feel welcome there. </div> <div style="text-align: left; margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;">Shameena explained that she sees similarities between Guyana and Toronto in that both are immensely diverse places. She enjoys being part of a global community and, although there are differences between her life in Guyana and Canada, she remains deeply connected to her community and family. </div> </div> <div style="text-align: left; margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;"></div> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ashmi, Samantha, Lexi, Cordelia and Catriona Language A language of the resource English Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Mp3, File size - 24.9mb https://omeka.uottawa.ca/anthroharvest/files/original/f64511c9ce7b65f6f685f0d7fef37000.jpg 860b7cce7045000232e7bb11b9e9af6b https://omeka.uottawa.ca/anthroharvest/files/original/4b628d33c5dee33ae0d3f9171fc0bfff.jpg 5e7e36bd3b00f8d0638ee65e56c49ffb Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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 Pedro the Panda Subject The topic of the resource Trophy, Sports Trophy Description An account of the resource Pedro the Panda is a symbol for university students in Ottawa. It goes to the winner of the iconic “Panda Game” that takes place in early October between the two universities in Ottawa. It's where the Carleton University Ravens and the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees partake in a football game where the winner keeps it until the next game the following year. It represents pride for the winner and instills a greater sense of rivalry between the two schools. The game alone is one of the most celebrated traditions in the Ottawa local area; Pedro is more than just a trophy, he is a mascot of the rivalry, a symbol of school spirit, and a part of the lives of many university students. It represents not just victory in a football game, but also bragging rights, student pride, and a connection to the legacy of the Panda Games.

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 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 Latin American stories from Ottawa Description An account of the resource <div style="text-align: left; margin-top: 0.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;">Beginning in Winter 2025, Professor Laurie Weinstein in ANT3340: Latin American and the Caribbean created Anthroharvest with the goal of inspiring students to explore the diversity of our city through ethnographic interviews. This collection stands as a pillar of students' ongoing efforts to interview friends, family, and members of Ottawa's Latin American and Caribbean communities in surrounding areas. Our ultimate goal is to create an archive of stories for those who identify with the Latin American and Caribbean community, accessible at any time, that preserves knowledge and promotes their cultures. Our project remains ongoing as we learn and connect with new students and people across Ottawa and eastern Canada. We invite you to browse the stories collected by our students, listen to the audio recording, and read transcripts and biographies of those interviewed. </div> Oral History A resource containing historical information obtained in interviews with persons having firsthand knowledge. Interviewer The person(s) performing the interview Emma Croucher and Jorja Champagne Interviewee The person(s) being interviewed Lucia Rios Location The location of the interview Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Jorja (00:00:03): Hi Lucia, so first things first, we would love to thank you for participating in this interview with us. First question: would you mind giving us a brief introduction about your life and yourself, please? Lucia Rios (00:00:15): Yeah, so my name is Lucia, I'm Brazilian and moved to Canada 7 years ago. When I first got here, I moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and in fall 2024, I moved to Ottawa because of my PhD. I'm a psychologist in Brazil, a psychotherapist here in Ottawa, and I'm starting a PhD in psychology; however, I'm switching to a new program in anthropology. Is there anything else I can say? Yeah, my bachelor's and master's degrees are from Brazil. Bachelor's in psychology and master's in public health and science, yeah. Emma (00:01:03): You came from Brazil to Ottawa for school purposes, correct? Lucia Rios (00:01:10): I came to Ottawa for school purposes but I came to Canada, I went to Winnipeg first right so yeah i didnt come from Brazil to Ottawa. Emma (00:01:24): Perfect. Do you have family down here in Ottawa? Lucia Rios (00:01:30): Not at all, my family is pretty much my community and my friends. Emma (00:01:37): Do you live in a Latin community or neighbourhood where there are people who speak Portuguese? I'm assuming it's yours. Would you say it is a community that speaks Portuguese frequently or not really? Lucia Rios (00:01:59):  So the place that I live in is very close to the university, I just need to cross the bridge, and I'm here on campus. So the reason I chose to live here is because I live close to the university for commuting. But in this, there are some communities here in Ottawa with more Brazilians. I do have a good social community group here. But I would say that maybe we have a bigger concentration of Brazilians or in Orleans. Emma (00:02:43): Do you celebrate various occasions with the community that you just discussed? Lucia Rios (00:02:49): I am a volunteer in two organizations here in the non-profit. One is Saravade, and the other is Acher; they are both named after Brazil's African religion. The first one is like the oldest one here. I think Acher was founded 10 years ago or more, and Saravade is a new one. It's been like three years since they put it together. And Acher is more focused on Latin music, not only Brazilian in Ottawa and Saravade, but also on Brazilian cultures and traditions. I volunteer for both; I usually take part in Brazilian festivals like " Culture of the Nights”. Or for example, we have the carnival party in February, like at the club 27 in Byward, and it was really nice cuz we had bands, the drummer, we have two different drummer groups here in Ottawa. One is Samba Ottawa.  We have drummers there playing for us. We have typical foods and samba during the party. Yeah, it was pretty neat. What else do we do? We have a Brazilian festival in June, where you can see some<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vhgot9H7vZw"> Capoeira.</a> circles playing. You can see drummers there too, and a lot of typical food. And yeah. And for Acher, we bring a lot of singers and bands from Latin America to Ottawa, in general, not only from Brazil. Emma (00:05:00): So, on the topic of celebration. Which celebrations are most important to you? Lucia Rios (00:05:08): I miss carnival a lot. I think we are very warm and touchy people. And I think carnival for us is not only a party; it's also a celebration of how resilient we are despite all the oppression and colonization we have been through. So it's really like our open party on the streets, where anyone can take part. So it doesn't matter your class, your income. You can have a lot of fun and celebrate with people in different ways. I do miss it a lot. Emma (00:05:57): Would you mind describing to us a typical day in your community? Lucia Rios (00:06:02): We recommend different services to each other for example, when we go to a family doctor or massage, therapist chiropractor, someone like that we feel that is more sensitive and welcoming the way like these they can treat immigrants and the way they can you know leave the treatment so we probably are gonna like refer to each other as different professional service but also different service for example like Internet bundle, I found this offer so we're gonna send in the group we have like a general group of  Brazilians in Ottawa and people are always like donating stuff asking for help, but I have also like my little social bubble only friends in that group. We are always checking in and seeing how we are doing. Someone is getting bad news from Brazil, when someone needs someone to pack it for you right they gonna ask. Here in ottawa to be honest my friends they don't have kids, but when I was in Winnipeg, I used to see a lot for my friends For my friends so that's the kind of support of my community is able to provide Emma (00:07:32): Thank you. How do you celebrate your heritage? Lucia Rios (00:07:35):  Interesting question. We have so many ways. I'm very proud of my accent, I know a lot of Brazilians try their best to just risk it off. They want to try to pronounce it in a way that they can escape their identity. I don't know what is wrong with them. I am honest when I'm talking with someone, and I know sometimes it's hard to understand people's accents. But there is a difference when you talk to someone who is open and used to being with immigrants and being in a way that is not only. Sometimes I understand there is a commercial way, or like work-related stuff. But it's also used to have immigrants in your life. So they can understand better, or maybe they put in extra effort to understand. But when I am talking to someone, they are always like “what”. And we were not doing this. I can't take it. I'm proud of my accent. Even some spiritual practices I still do here in Canada. Sometimes it's hard for friends to hold herb baths. Like when I have to buy some plants to do my bath. Some plants that I easily find in a tropical country, I cannot spot here. But others I can place and find and its. But keeping this tradition is a way of celebrating my heritage. And we do have specific groups following this African religious tradition. I mean, we have many religions in Brazil. This is very relevant to Brazil. It's hard to find places that practice that. Of course, I can do my herb baths at home, but I like to do it as a group and to play the drums and sing and to see the manifestation. We don't have it everywhere in Canada. We do have a big group in Montreal. I've been there, I think, 5 times since I moved to Ottawa. I consider that a high number of attendances. It is not easy to go there all the time. Also, we have a group that is Canada-wide for this really spiritual practice. We use water. We use a lot of water in Latin America.  And we always exchange things there, like yeah. Emma (00:10:45): Thank you, would you mind telling us some values that you hold most dear as a member of the Latin American community? Lucia Rios (00:10:56): Yeah, I think we were more community-oriented. Cuz one thing that I feel here in the relationships in North America is. There's a lot of focus on boundaries, and I understand I need to be more assertive with my boundaries, but sometimes I think there is a lot of focus on boundaries here, and people are so concerned to set up boundaries that they end up isolated. And in brazil we value the community life for example there was one day when i lived in winnipeg and I was in a work meeting and I got a guy from nigeria and he was sharing that in nigeria he used to like show up unannounced to his uncle's house and that was done that was something they were used to but then he moved both of them and when he showed up unannounced his uncle was like what are you doing he and he was like oh i come to say and he was like no its canada you cannot do that here. That's not how we do it here, you're gonna tell me before, so of course we're gonna text where available for you. I think there are so many rules and things are so strict that it doesn't meet the spontaneity or the flow of life that we need to. I don't know if I answered your question. Emma (00:12:53): Perfect. No, no, no, you did, it was perfect, thank you. We just have a couple more questions, if that's alright. We're just wondering what you would like to share about yourself or a community that you are a part of that people should know. Lucia Rios (00:13:17): About my community. We are very alike. We are touchy people. So we hug a lot, and sometimes I know this can make people misread us. We are very warm people. What else… sharing food is a way that we have to. It is a very valid way to show love and respect for others, so we like to have our meals with others, as I cook for my friends, and to have Brazilian food as much as I can when I can. What else, so when I moved here seven years ago, there was a political background context in Brazil that a very far-right president was winning the elections, and there was a weight shift for more conservative people, like taking over the country. So I'm a queer person. I moved here because I felt at risk right now, and now we are seeing the same shift, like the same wave coming back. Here in Canada, as a queer person, I feel safer, right? Then I feel in Brazil. And I believe that I can speak on behalf of my queer community, like the Brazilian community specifically. I think that is it. Emma (00:15:22): yeah, that was perfect. I know you touched one food, so what foods remind you of home? Lucia Rios (00:15:32): “Feijoada” Which is a Brazilian stew, it's pork meat, and we have as a side, and we have like kale and flour, even orange on the plate. We have “O’Shea’s”, which is chicken croquettes. And the way we do the barbecue. I don't think it's the way we do it, but maybe it is different meat cuts. Picaya is the top sirloin cap. It's very common in our barbecue, and I do. Here, when we say barbecue, we are referring to hot dogs and burgers, but we are talking about steaks when we say, " Let's have a barbecue. Ummm yeah. Emma (00:16:41): Where do you purchase in order to prepare any traditional meals? Is there a specific place? Lucia Rios (00:16:51): Super store supermarket that they like to sell our brands, for example, No Frills is one. We also have some small grocery shops there, one in Vanier. We have “Damas” foods, it's a Portuguese guy actually, but he sells a lot of Brazilian brands. We have some Brazilian restaurants in Byward. We have coffee. I don't remember the coffee shop name. But we do have a new bakery. Recently, a bakery opened in Nepean. That's bananas, and I know that they sell not only the ingredients but also make food there too. I don't think we have many Brazilian restaurants in Ottawa, in Canada, we do, but not in Ottawa. We have some acai shops too, acai is more like a berry ice cream that we have. And I do  know we have one in Gatineau and one in the same store but different locations, and the other at the St. Laurent Mall. And sometimes, depending on what I need, I go to an African market to get to know, for example, “hasava flower” or corn flower, depending exactly on what I want, I know that I will find it there. Emma (00:18:49): We have one question left. So you're aware we are posting this interview on a website for our class, so we're just wondering how likely you and your family would be to use this website that we are creating to share stories Lucia Rios (00:19:07): How likely is my family to access the website? Emma (00:19:11): Yeah, like, would you use this website? We were creating a bunch of interviews about Latin American and Caribbean lives. Lucia Rios (00:19:24): Well, I can definitely share with my friends, but my family, honestly, they don't speak English, so as I said, my family is all home in Brazil. My brother does, but I think he's the only one I'm not sure he would be curious enough to check on the interviews. But my friends here in Ottawa, Canada, I do think they would access and use it. Emma (00:19:50): on that, we would like to better serve the community, so we're wondering if there are any suggestions you have about accessing the website and making it more accessible for people who want to learn or understand about an immigrant experience. Do you have any advice about that? Lucia Rios (00:20:15): I think language is right, like probably how we measure accessibility for different services here in Canada. That's all. I don't know. I know there is a cost for it if you have to shift the website language, there is a cost for it, and I don't know if it's feasible for the labs Emma (00:20:44): What a great recommendation, we really appreciate that. So that is all your question. Do you have any comments or concerns for us, or anything extra you'd like to share Lucia Rios (00:21:02): I would add you know what I made you on the website as I mention the nonprofit or organizations some of the events if people wanna like our heroes about the culture of traditions and they wanna like go see at least go the carnival party was awesome so yeah, maybe share some events with him both say hey there is just going on in town this weekend or you know like this. Emma (00:21:29): Oh, I completely agree with that, so good, that's everything we have. Thank you very much. We really appreciated this.

Title A name given to the resource Conversation with Lucia Rios Description An account of the resource Lucia Rio is a Brazilian-born psychotherapist and doctoral student currently living in Ottawa, Canada. She moved to Canada several years ago, initially to Winnipeg, and later to Ottawa to pursue her studies. She currently holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master's in public health. She recently decided to pursue her PhD in anthropology. Since moving to Ottawa, a place where Lucia has no family, she has built a strong community through new friends and participation in Latin American organizations, including Saravade and Acher, both named after Brazil's African religion. In the interview, she explained that a strong value in the Brazilian community is prioritizing community and connection over individualism. Lucia is very involved in Ottawa’s Latin American culture. She participates in this through volunteering with organizations that promote music, tradition, and important values rooted in Latin American and Brazilian history. Her favourite event in Ottawa is the Carnival. She describes this event as a symbol of resilience, unity and cultural expression. To maintain her heritage, she takes great pride in her Brazilian accent. She believes her accent is a proud representation of her past and should never be hidden. Finally, she shows pride in her heritage through her food. Dishes like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feijoada">feijoada,</a> which is a Brazilian stew, and large barbecues help her share her heritage with her new Ottawa friends. As a queer individual, Lucia explained the political shift in Brazil, which contributed largely to her decision to move to Canada. She expressed in her interview that she felt much safer in Canada. Overall, Lucia highlighted how important community and culture are to her and how they affect everyone. Lastly, Lucia is proud to share her story on this website and hopes that, in the future, it will be more language-accessible so that more immigrants can use it and connect with stories similar to theirs.

The anthropology students were tasked with researching how people acquired food. Sandy Hill has a variety of eateries and convenience stores, but grocery stores are outside the central area. For lower-income residents, including students, accessing affordable fresh food is an issue. A number of charitable programs help fill that void, but not completely.

Title A name given to the resource Food Vendors in Sandy Hill Description An account of the resource Our group mapped food vendors (e.g, restaurants, convenience stores, grocery vendors, coffee shops, etc.) in Sandy Hill. We examined each location’s general affordability, the food’s or vendor’s cultural origins, and whether there are food preference availability. Boundaries of our mapping were (North to South) Besserer Street to Mann Avenue, and (West to East) King Edward Avenue to the Rideau River. Understanding what food options exist in the area help to create a picture of Sandy Hill’s livability and discover areas for potential improvement (more diverse food options, healthier options, cheaper options, etc.). ----- As of 2026, Sandy Hill (within the boundaries specified previously) has 43 food vendors. 31 of these vendors, we classified as sit-down or take-out restaurants/food, and pubs and eateries, and 6 vendors we classified as coffee houses, bakeries, or beverage shops. 4 food vendors were convenience stores and the 2 were grocery stores. Most of the food vendors were clustered close to the University, with a high frequency on Laurier Avenue. The two grocery vendors operated on Mann avenue, allowing residents of the neighbourhood living nearby the opportunities to purchase basic food necessities without having to travel to Rideau street and beyond for grocery items. Sandy Hill has many food vendors selling different cuisines including Indian, Mediterranean, Thai, Japanese, Korean, Mexican, Guyanaese and Caribbean, North African, and French Gastronomy. Affordability fluctuated with most of the affordable food stores operating close to the University. Restaurants closer to Range Road and Strathcona Park had a dramatic increase in price compared to the rest of the food vendors. More often than not, food vendors had at least a few vegan, vegetarian, or halal options available. Most places also allowed for customization and substitutions.  (See Food in Sandy Hill Comparison - 2010 to 2026 table). Compared to 2010, there are more food options that are more diverse, and tend to be similar in price/accessibility as before. There are a few spots that have closed and are now empty store fronts or no longer sell food, but many former residential only spots now have food options. While we do not have price comparisons for 2010, we can surmise from the similar options and vendors that are still present that the price increases are likely in line with inflation. We have mostly found that while brands or names have changed, convenience stores have stayed convenience stores, pubs have stayed pubs, and so on and so forth. Please refer to the table for further details on what has changed, stayed the same and to compare further.  Mapping food vendors in Sandy Hill is essential for understanding food availability in the community and addressing food insecurity, particularly focusing on affordability and dietary accessibility. Our map highlights an overall increase of accessible vendors in the neighbourhood, including more accessible options and a wider range of affordable options in comparison to 2010. It presents the options available to the residents of Sandy Hill, where they can eat depending on their food preferences and restrictions, and the affordability of said vendors. Our project highlights the gaps in food access in Sandy Hill. This includes areas with fewer vendors, areas of limited affordability, and lack of transparency with dietary options. For example, many vendors don’t state dietary accommodations on their menus or websites. It also shows the concentration of vendors on Laurier Street compared to the lack of options in east Sandy Hill. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Fiona Labonté, Lily Smith, Sabryn McLennan Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Our research was conducted through online sources and using primary observation and research collection. Google Maps was the main source used, both to get accurate building locations and addresses and to explore food vendor’s online menus. Additionally, Google Maps Street View program was used occasionally to review past versions of locations to examine what businesses existed in that location during the years 2009 to 2012. Additional sources – vendor’s websites – were consulted when primary observation was ineffective, such as if a food vendor existed only as an online ordering, take-out website (e.g. SushiLab).

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 O-FRANGO Description An account of the resource O-Frango is an affordable food truck near the University of Ottawa campus that has become a go-to dining spot for many students after class. Their fried chicken and fries served with a variety of sauces are a big hit among students. It perfectly reflects the daily life and food culture of uOttawa students in 2025. Outside their food truck, there's a plastic canopy and tables where students can eat their fried chicken right away or share it with friends. Not only that, but their lunch boxes and food carts all feature their own logo—a chicken wearing a chef's hat—along with the date they opened and their slogan: “O-town Fried Chicken.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Haithm Alshaebi Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived 151 Laurier Ave E Ottawa, ON K1N 6N8 Canada Curated by: Eli Pearce; Yanqing Lu; Ruiqing Bi; Ben Maduri Photo: Yanqing Lu Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2025 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource © Ofrango Relation A related resource Fried Chicken and restaurant Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Physical object-Food Truck Next to the food cart is an extended platform with a canopy, featuring three or four chairs for diners to eat.

Title A name given to the resource University Pub Glasses – Father & Sons Subject The topic of the resource University bar memorabilia, student life, campus culture, local businesses Description An account of the resource These glasses come from the University of Ottawa’s most iconic student pub—Father & Sons. Though not officially for sale, the glasses are a collectible among students, often ending up in off-campus apartments as unofficial souvenirs of university life. They represent shared experiences—brunches after exams, beginnings of nights out, and karaoke nights. While the design and logos may change, the glasses remain a recognizable part of uOttawa’s undergraduate social culture. Their “borrowed” nature adds to their legend, marking them as cheeky, nostalgic symbols of student identity and belonging.

This historical neighborhood used to be the home to Ottawa's wealthy back in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, embassies, government workers and university students live here. The anthropology students were tasked with researching how people acquired food. Sandy Hill has a variety of eateries and convenience stores, but grocery stores are outside the central area. For lower-income residents, including students, accessing affordable fresh food is an issue. A number of charitable programs help fill that void, but not completely. Students also looked at the transportation infrastructure here, the number of rentals to owners, green areas where gardens could be planted, charitable organizations offering food assistance and the history of Sandy Hill in maps.</div> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Winter Term 2026 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Students in the Ant 4135 Food and Food Systems taught by Laurie Weinstein, Ph.D. Winter 2026.
