Humans of Homecoming

“The friendships you make here — you never lose them.”

Cam Johnston, Artsci’85, laughs when he thinks back on his time at Queen's University.

“I had too much fun, so I took the five-year path.”

A former AMS and ASUS leader, Cam has returned for regularly ever since. Even after four decades, it doesn’t take long for old friends to fall back into familiar rhythms.

“You can see someone you haven’t seen in 40 years and you’re right back in the groove.”

Surrounded by the roar of the crowd at Richardson Stadium, Cam summed it up simply: “It’s so nice to be back.”

Follow the buzz on campus and it will lead you to a not-so-secret garden.

Beside the Biosciences Complex, the Native Pollinator Garden is alive with colour, all feeding the birds, bees, bats, butterflies, and moths that rely on native plants to thrive.

For nearly 20 years, students and faculty have tended this space, creating food, shelter, and nesting spots for species that keep our ecosystem running far beyond campus. Monarchs lay their eggs on milkweed, solitary bees tuck into wooden bug houses, and blooms rotate through the seasons to keep the pantry stocked.
