Some weird guy apparently organized a yoyo contest to help building a feeling of belonging among students who attend a school club. Seems that, with the help of partners from severals countries and dedicated sponsors, that contest even became the Canadian National Championship ! A journalist from a local newspaper wrote a nice paper on the Canadian nats, which were held last Saturday, June 6th. Brandon Baines, Alexis Jancorda and an anonymous pair of hands are featured on page 3. Its in french; as a french speaker, I can say that’s its very nicely written. I’m not sure if the most interesting fact about this article is that it covers a great yoyo contest or the fact that it does not contain any pun;) You can read the whole story in the June 9th edition of «L’Informateur» by clicking the link. [PressReader.com - Digital Newspaper & Magazine Subscriptions](http://linformateurrdp.newspaperdirect.com/epaper/fr/viewer.aspx) I had a blast last week end.
