Friday, July 10, 2020 @ 11:39 AM
From April 27 to May 4, the Canadian Mennonite University (CMU) Singers were to spend a week singing and travelling across the country, all the way from Manitoba to British Columbia. Unfortunately, the choir tour had to be cancelled—one of the many casualties of the COVID-19 pandemic.
But that didn't stop the choir from connecting. Instead of boarding a bus every morning, the singers were greeted daily by a new email from Dr. Janet Brenneman, Associate Professor of Music and conductor of the CMU Singers.

Thursday, May 14, 2020 @ 10:20 AM
Now expanded to two locations totalling 15 acres, the Metanoia Farmers Cooperative celebrates 10 years of learning, growing, and farming for change.
You may have heard of "emerging writers" or recognize the phrase "emergent church," but did you ever hear of emerging farmers?
The Metanoia Farmers Cooperative is a group of CMU students and alumni; though individual memberships shift with time, the collective as a whole is permanently responsible for running the CMU Farm, and working 14 acres of associated land near the village of Neubergthal. All of them are emerging farmers: lovers of God's good creation motived by their faith to learn and develop skills they may or may not have grown up with, in order to become practitioners of sustainable agriculture.

Wednesday, May 6, 2020 @ 5:10 PM
It has been almost a year since the Canadian Mennonite University Blazers and the Manitoba Colleges Athletic Conference were welcomed into the CCAA and on Tuesday, Tiegan Kroeker, Jana Klassen, and Carter Hofer became the first CMU student-athletes to be officially recognized by the national conference with a major award.
The distinction of Canadian Collegiate Athletic Conference Academic All-Canadian is designated to student-athletes from across Canada who were recognized by their region as a member of the All-Conference Team while maintain an academic grade-point-average of at least 3.70 in the given academic year. 190 student-athletes from across the CCAA's five conferences were listed in this class of excellence, including seven from Manitoba. Ontario's Humber College led the nation with 15 total recipients.
In her second season, Kroeker captained the CMU women's soccer team and earned her first all-conference selection last October. The graduate of Winnipeg's Fort Richmond Collegiate scored once for the Blazers in the 2019 season despite playing most of her minutes from central defence; a goal that ultimately clinched the final MCAC playoff spot for her team.
Being recognized as one of the first CMU athletes by the CCAA is a perfect ending to a stellar collegiate career for Klassen. The fifth-year Blazers floor captain earned her 2nd all-conference selection in 2020 and finished second in scoring with 275 kills. The native of Calgary, AB was also recently selected as a co-winner of CMU's Female Athlete of the Year after leading her team to a 2020 MCAC Women's Volleyball Championship.
Carter Hofer's play spoke for itself in 2019-20. The third-year captain led CMU to another championship banner, the second in his three-year MCAC career. Hofer's 201 kills led the Blazers offensively and placed him third on the MCAC's Men's Volleyball leaderboard. The talented left-side hitter from Winnipeg's Linden Christian School added 50 service aces and 21 blocks to his season total.
The Canadian Collegiate Athletic Conference is made up of the PacWest Conference (BC), ACAC (Alberta), OCAA (Ontario), RSEQ (Quebec), ACAA (Atlantic Canada) and the MCAC (Manitoba) and boasts more than 100 member colleges and universities from across the country.
