Ambrosia Literary Review

Submission Deadline: November 9th 

Theme: Myth

We at Ambrosia recognize that “there is nothing new under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 1:9). The idea that every story has already been written about by others can often make writing feel like a daunting task. However, there is a certain power in the perspective that new eyes and a new pen can bring into an old story, even if it may have been centuries ago.

This year Ambrosia invites you to REIMAGINE myth! From the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice to the Anglo-Saxon myth of Beowulf, retell, renew, and reimagine any myth of your choice. Tell us through your unique prose, verse, or photography why this story is important to you and why we ought to care about these ancient stories at all.

There is an enchantment in imagination, and we at Ambrosia are excited to see what stories enchant you.

Send in your submissions to ambrosialiteraryreview@ambrose.edu by November 9th, 2025!

Orange Shirt Day

Monday, September 29th | Campus Closed on Sept. 30th 

"Each year, September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

The day honours the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.

This federal statutory holiday was created through legislative amendments made by Parliament.

Both the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day take place on September 30.

Orange Shirt Day is a commemorative day led by Indigenous communities to raise awareness about the intergenerational impacts of residential schools on children, families, and communities. It honours Indigenous children who were lost in the residential school system.

The orange shirt symbolizes the loss of culture, freedom, and self-esteem that many Indigenous children experienced. This day reminds us that “Every Child Matters”.

On September 30, we encourage all Canadians to wear orange to honour the thousands of Survivors of residential schools.

Download our resources and share how you will mark this day by using the hashtag #NDTR on social media."

Early Alliance writers drew on Hosea's image of the dew (Hosea 14) to understand the comfort and grace of God that comes in stillness.

"Do you ever get fretted, or heated, or tired, or passionate? Do you ever wonder why God does not refresh you? Get quiet and cool, and Lo! From the surrounding air, which is full of God, you will gather drops of refreshing dew which will rest, and quiet, and calm you. God is always full of quiet and restful love, and we must get quiet to take it in, and our hearts will be full of praise. Look up and feel that you touch Him and then rest in Him. God is not far from every one of us." - A.B. Simpson.

Gathering Dew

Wednesdays during Lent (March 5 - April 17)

You are invited into a time of stillness during the season of Lent. Staff, students and faculty are welcome!

The sound of a small bell will begin and end the time of quiet. Sit. Listen. Breathe. Eyes opened or closed. Enter and leave without speaking.

Early Alliance writers drew on Hosea's image of the dew (Hosea 14) to understand the comfort and grace of God that comes in stillness.

"Do you ever get fretted, or heated, or tired, or passionate? Do you ever wonder why God does not refresh you? Get quiet and cool, and Lo! From the surrounding air, which is full of God, you will gather drops of refreshing dew which will rest, and quiet, and calm you. God is always full of quiet and restful love, and we must get quiet to take it in, and our hearts will be full of praise. Look up and feel that you touch Him and then rest in Him. God is not far from every one of us." - A.B. Simpson.
