I’m not going to try and explain the riot that happened after game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Maybe I should try. I’m interested in sports, politics, and social change, so a ‘sports riot’ in Vancouver seems like a perfect intersection of my interests.

On Sunday, 60 Minutes aired a story about Greg Mortenson, his charity Central Asia Institute (CAI), and his books Three Cups of Tea and Stones into Schools. Three Cups of Tea recounts  the story of Mortenson: attempting to climb K2; getting lost on the way down the mountain; stumbling into a small village where he [...]

The title of the post is actually a title of a book. I wrote a post about it on my blog a while back, but there is an upcoming event at UBC, which has motivated me to post again.

I just found out that there will be a Right to Play awareness event tomorrow at the Norm Theatre as part of their new Canadian Awareness Program. I have written a few posts about sport-for-development and am interested in the subject, but I thought I would post it here as well in case others [...]
