Laura Preissl, manager of the Langara Starbucks who is also acting as Chartwells’ kitchen manager, said normally hours are cut after the May long weekend when sales slow down. Preiss] said this year’s lower sales could be attributed to a number of factors, such as snow days or students being short on cash. One cafeteria worker, who has been at Langara for decades, told tor of food services at Langara. “Things are burning, things are spilling and my ladies are standing out here talking to you,” Bandali said. Bandali told The Voice to get comment from Compass Group Canada, the Mississauga-based food service company that oversees Chartwells. Stephanie Baxter, director of communications at Compass Group Canada, also asked The Voice to stop speaking to cafeteria workers. “You're putting them in a very awkward spot when you go and try to interview them,” Baxter said. Tim Hortons, which is also run by Chartwells, moved from coffee service to offering full meals at the end of last school year. Preiss] said the main cafeteria’s sales could be down as a result. “It’s taken a lot away from Star- bucks as well,” Preiss] said.

The woman, who declined to give her name, said that some Tim Hortons staff are working overtime. Chartwells employees who are trained in the main cafeteria are not trained to work in Tim Hortons, so staff whose hours have been reduced can't pick up extra work there, Preiss] said. Langara health sciences student, Mehtab Kaur, said she’s noticed that things are quieter these days at the cafeteria compared to last semester. “It’s less busy now,” she said.

As an Indigenous woman from the Pacific Coast who took a stand against the prime minis- ter, Wilson-Raybould has inspired other women across the province. Thomas said the path Wilson- Raybould set, becoming a cabi- net minister and resigning, gives her something to strive for. Seeing Wilson-Raybould challenge tradi- tional power structures is empow- ering, [Thomas said. “Jody is challenging that, which is good because it will definitely open doors for us challenging the system,” said Thomas. Wilson-Raybould recently resigned from her post after an alleged “consistent and sustained effort” from government officials to intervene in a corruption and fraud case involving SNC-Lavalin. It was the prime minister who invited Wilson-Raybould to lead, but she is the one, as an Indigenous person, urging women from her example, to contend, said Ginger Gosnell-Myers, former Aboriginal relations manager for the City of Vancouver. In its March 7, 2019, edition, The Voice erroneously stated that there are other post-secondary institutions in Vancouver that are partnering with ArtU. In fact, Langara is the only post-secondary insti- tution that has partnered with AxtU to offer a digital arts program.
