By: Em Li Two days before winter break, my third-grade teacher waltzed into class, sang our special call-and-response to quiet the room of rowdy eight-year-olds, and began handing out worksheets. With that, I was first introduced to the concept of New Year’s Resolutions. I remember sneaking around, trying to copy resolutions from my classmates’ worksheets, and making fun of my elementary school nemesis’ handwriting. Still, most of all, I remember feeling a deep confusion about...

By: Jasper Jose Davila recalled the first few weeks of her son’s life as she tried to manoeuvre through court life without an income or a husband. After leaving tutoring, she had faded from the social circles of Orrieto, though she still felt whole in the quiet of her apartments and inns as she nursed the boy. There were none, however, willing to accommodate the two of them, for who would offer extra coin for...

By: Jason Seol January 3rd, 2026 It was 5:00 AM. I was wearing my ski supplies, all buckled up in the back seat of my mom’s minivan. I looked to the front, hoping to enjoy the snowy landscape, but the only landscape I could see was a thick sheet of snow blocking my view of the beautiful white snow falling from the sky. As I observed the dense snow pile on the minivan’s front glass,...

By: Isita Ghanta The sky was pale and still that morning, the kind of winter sky that made the world look clean and untouched. Lily woke to the soft hum of wind against her window, letting herself linger in bed a little longer. Today was the day she had been putting off, the day she would return to the gallery where her work had been rejected last month. She had spent the holidays wandering snow-covered...

My name is Lynette, and I am the Editor-in-Chief of Horizon Publications from 2025 to 2026. My journey with Horizon began in the winter of 2024, right when the post-secondary application season was underway. Rather than preparing my volunteer hours and polishing my extracurriculars, I scrambled to prepare a portfolio of my...

By: Jason Seol A few years ago, my friends and I read a news report that some games of the FIFA 2026 World Cup would be hosted in Vancouver. This was “breaking news” for us, as we were all locals in Vancouver and our favourite hobby was watching soccer highlights and talking or debating about them. After we finished reading the news report, we thought we could change our lives in some ways, and started...

By: Eli It’s 2014 and my mother has put me in my best dress and shiny leather shoes so I can sit pretty in the pew for Pentecost. “It is the Church’s birthday,” she says, “and you do not show up in rags for a birthday.” I spend the service using my eyes to trace beams that support the ceiling’s arch because I am not a patient, proper child, despite my mother’s best efforts to...

By: Miguel Padilla North America is beautiful—from the glistening mountains of Cascadia, the warm beaches of California, to the concrete jungle of New York. Yet there is one thing, above all else, that encapsulates the true beauty of the region—multi-laned highways—a peak in human engineering and practicality. Unfortunately, Canada does not have it down like ‘Murica. Looking at Vancouver, the Trans-Canada Highway reaches a maximum of 12 lanes, 6 in each direction—truly disgraceful and untrue...
