UWindsor nursing graduate Aaron Aine now works as a registered nurse in labour and delivery after overcoming the challenges of immigrating to Canada, starting university during the pandemic and earning his Canadian citizenship while completing his degree. (SUBMITTED BY AARON AINE/University of Windsor)
By Sara Meikle
Just a few years ago, Aaron Aine imagined a very different future.
Growing up in Uganda, he studied history, economics and literature with plans to become a lawyer. Nursing was never part of the plan.
Everything changed after immigrating to Canada in 2019. Aine completed his final year of high school in Scarborough before enrolling in the University of Windsor's nursing program at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
He was adapting to a new country, a new education system and a new way of learning all at once.

By Kate Hargreaves
With its colourful and muted stripes, the Disability Pride flag is itself an example of accessible design.
First created by Ann Magill in 2016, the original flag featured brighter colours in a lightning bolt pattern but inadvertently had a strobing effect for some with migraines and seizures. In true inclusive fashion, Magill listened to the community and redesigned the flag, leading to its current version of muted colours and diagonal stripes.

By Victor Romao
The Gordie Howe International Bridge is rising at a time when the line between Windsor and Detroit can feel more fixed than fluid.
Tighter border controls, post-pandemic disruptions and political friction between Canada and the United States have made that divide more visible in recent years.
For decades, the Detroit River has been less a barrier than a seam, stitching together two cities whose economies, cultures and daily rhythms have long overlapped.
