Carleton students instil change in their own backyards
The youth of our generation are often stereotyped as lazy and lacking compassion.
But don’t tell this to the more than 230 Carleton students who stepped up Sept. 26 to lend 23 Ottawa-based organizations a helping hand through the Carleton Serves program.

Since its creation three years ago, the program has more than doubled in size.
