Indigenous students rock their mocs

WISC is building community and connection to Indigenous traditions - By Sam Toman University Relations - As far as campus traditions go, Soup and Bannock Days at the University of Waterloo Indigenous Student Centre (WISC) is a must-attend. Most Thursdays, volunteers make and serve soup to attendees while WISC staff dish out deep-fried balls of savoury bread - a traditional Indigenous treat. All are welcome to join.   "If I had a magic wand, I would love for an unlimited supply of bannock to magically appear," says Arts undergraduate student Chole Brideau. "I'm not sure whether that comes in the form of a machine dispenser or a full-time fry bread connoisseur, but it would be the perfect any time-of-day snack." She adds that she wants to talk to someone in Engineering about the possibility of a bannock startup. Brideau is joking.. maybe. It's hard to tell because she's been trading sarcastic barbs all afternoon with her friend Adele Trunecek.
