Wings of fire : the graphic novel. 4, The dark secret /

Sutherland, Tui, 1978-,


When Starflight is stolen by his own tribe, he hopes to at least discover some of the long-held NightWing secrets -- what magical powers they really have, who they're allied with in the war, and where they've been living all this time. But the truth about Starflight's tribe is more terrible than he ever imagined: Not only do the NightWings live in a dark, miserable place, but they've imprisoned several innocent RainWings there, too. Stranded and alone, Starflight only wants to get back to his friends. But the fate of two kingdoms now rests in his talons, and with no one to save him, Starflight will have to find a way to be brave... before it's too late.

The greenhouse effect


This video explains the Earth's natural mechanism for temperature regulation. Delving into the concept of a protective atmospheric layer composed of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, the video illustrates how this mechanism keeps the planet at a stable temperature. It vividly depicts the delicate balance maintained by these gases and highlights how human activities impacting these gases can disrupt this equilibrium, leading to global warming and significant environmental changes.

Problems vs symptoms


Problems vs. Symptoms is an eye-opening educational video that explores the distinction between symptoms and root problems, using climate change as an example. Drawing parallels to diagnosing an illness, the video sheds light on how symptoms like rising sea levels, droughts, and wildfires are indicators of a deeper issue: global warming caused by the greenhouse effect. It simplifies the complex concept of climate change by likening it to a medical scenario, wherein symptoms are signals of a more significant problem. By uncovering the core problem of increased greenhouse gas emissions disrupting the earth's natural balance, the video encourages students to address the root cause for lasting solutions, much like a doctor prescribing treatment for an illness. It emphasizes the importance of tackling the underlying issue of global warming to alleviate the symptoms of climate change, fostering a deeper understanding of this critical environmental challenge.

Paldi (version française)


En 1927, Bishan Kaur a quitté sa maison à Pendjab, en Inde, pour rejoindre son mari, l’entrepreneur forestier Mayo Singh, au Canada. Ils ont aidé à façonner la communauté de Paldi de manière à ce qu’elle soit un foyer accueillant et inclusif pour les personnes de tous les horizons. Les femmes comme Bishan ont immigré au Canada durant une époque d’incertitude pour les Canadiens d’origine asiatique. Face aux sentiments et politiques anti-asiatiques, la Mayo Lumber Company a été fondée par des travailleurs forestiers sikhs en 1917, et elle a employé des travailleurs canadiens sud-asiatiques, chinois, japonais, et blancs. Les ouvriers et leurs familles ont appelé le village de Paldi leur foyer jusque dans les années 1980. Aujourd’hui, le site historique du gurdwara de Paldi demeure un symbole de cette communauté multiculturelle et inclusive.

The Komagata Maru and Canada's anti-Indian immigration policies in the twentieth century

Hickman, Pamela M.


In 1914, Canada was a very British society with anti-Asian attitudes. Although Great Britain had declared that all people from India were officially British citizens and could live anywhere in the British Commonwealth, Canada refused to accept them. This racist policy was challenged by Gurdit Singh, a Sikh businessman, who chartered a ship, the Komagata Maru, and sailed to Vancouver with over 300 Indians wishing to immigrate to Canada. They were turned back, tragically. Over the years, the Canadian government gradually changed its immigration policies, first allowing entry to wives and children of Indian immigrants and later to many more immigrants from India. The Indo-Canadian community has grown throughout Canada, especially in British Columbia.

Yee, Sennah, 1992-,


A day in Chinatown takes an unexpected turn when a bored little girl makes a connection with her grandpa. May isn't having fun on her trip through Chinatown with her grandfather.

But just when May can't take any more, Gong Gong surprises her with a gift that reveals he's been paying more attention than she thought. It captures life in the city and shows how small, shared moments of patience and care--and a dumpling or two--can help a child and grandparent bridge the generational and cultural gaps between them.

Komagata Maru : the Sikh migrants who challenged Canadian immigration law


The passengers aboard the SS Komagata Maru were part of a dramatic challenge to Canada’s former practice of excluding immigrants from India. In 1914, the Komagata Maru arrived in Vancouver carrying some 376 passengers, all British subjects from India. The events that followed illustrated that Canada was considered “a white man’s country” by those in power and affirmed the second-class status of South Asians within the British Empire. .
