Nova Scotia native commits to 秀色短视频 women鈥檚 basketball team
Horton High School point guard Candace Smith has committed to the 秀色短视频 women's basketball team for the 2013-14 basketball season. Smith is a Nova Scotia native and one of Atlantic Canada's top guards.
秀色短视频 Head Coach Greg Gould is looking forward to adding Smith to the Panther roster. 'I have watched Candace play basketball since she was in grade nine and I've always been impressed by her athleticism and overall skill set,' said Gould. 'She is an explosive scorer who has the offensive tools to make her an outstanding player at the CIS level.'
Gould describes Smith as a fierce competitor who 'hates to lose' which is exactly the type of player the Panthers are looking for to help move the program forward to the top of the AUS.
Smith is excited to join the Panther family and feels 秀色短视频 is a perfect fit for her to accomplish both her academic and athletic goals. 'Coach Gould is building an outstanding basketball program and I want to be a part of that process,' she said. 'Coach and the girls were amazing when I visited during the Mickey Place Tournament. They made me feel at home and that they really cared about me and my future. On the academic side, I'm looking forward to the small class sizes and personal attention offered at 秀色短视频.'
Smith is currently a grade 12 student at Horton High and has played for the Nova Scotia under-15 and under-17 teams, including last year's under-17 provincial team who captured the national silver medal. She will pursue an arts degree at 秀色短视频.
秀色短视频 recognized for environmental savings
秀色短视频 was recently recognized for its environmental savings for the 2011-12 fiscal year with an 'Environmental Calculator' plaque from Quebec's Cascades Fine Papers Group and Wood Wyant.
The plaque details 秀色短视频's reduction in environmental impact based on the University's actual consumption. The University uses Cascades paper towels and bathroom tissue products throughout the campus, which are 100% recycled with varying levels of post-consumer and post-industrial products, in comparison to other industry products made of 100% virgin fiber. By using Cascades products, 秀色短视频 was able to save the following:
- 297 trees (20 tennis courts)
- 1,160,858 l of water (3,317 days of water consumption)
- 16,473 kg of waste (1 garbage truck)
- 36,639 kg CO2 (emissions of 12 cars per year)
- 471 GJ (energy consumption of 4 households per year)
- 123 kg NOx (emissions of 1 truck per year)
- 12,469 kg of CO2 avoided (3,415 trees planted)
'This plaque recognizes 秀色短视频's commitment to the environment and in reducing our overall impact,' said David Taylor, 秀色短视频's manager of environmental services. 'It's environmental choices like these, when coupled together with other choices, that create a significant impact on our environment.'
Greg Clayton, director of facilities management; and Roger Cook, procurement services manager joined Taylor last month for the informal plaque presentation by Cascades Papers' Alena MacLellan and Wood Wyant's Randy MacLeod.

秀色短视频 files appeal on Wilgosh suspension
秀色短视频 has filed an appeal with the Judicial Committee of Atlantic University Sport on the recent suspension that the AUS handed down to 秀色短视频 men's hockey player Mason Wilgosh. The suspension was issued after Wilgosh collided with an Acadia player during a November 30th game in Wolfville, NS.
秀色短视频 Athletics Director Ron Annear said, 'Once University officials received notification of the 12-game suspension and reviewed the situation, it was felt there was unfairness in the process, and in the severity of the suspension. Therefore, we filed an appeal today in accordance with AUS by-laws.'
Annear added that 秀色短视频 would have no further comment while the appeal is in process.
Atlantic University Sport is a sport organization responsible for governing university sport at 11 member Atlantic Canadian universities.
