Montreal Alouette’s quarterback Anthony Calvillo broke the CFL all-time passing record on Sunday.

The 39 year old’s moment came during a game against the Toronto Argonauts. He needed 258 yards going in to Sunday’s game to beat Damon Allen’s all-time record.

At the end of the third quarter Calvillo made a pass to an Alouette receiver who ran for a touchdown.

The pass brought Calvillo over the record and triggered a celebration on the field. Play was stopped for ten minutes. Players and fans showed respect for the quarterback.

One of Montreal’s biggest raves went off without a hitch. Over six thousand people attended the Black and Blue Festival at Olympic Stadium Sunday.

Eighteen DJs from around the world played from nine until noon the next day. Proceeds will go towards charities for people with HIV/AIDS.

Only one drug-related arrest was made. The suspect faces charges of drug trafficking and will go to court today.

Sometimes its not in the words when the images say it all. The Jesper Just photographic exhibition wrapped up this past Saturday at Concordia’s Leonard and Bina Ellen Art Gallery. Audrey Folliot was there to take it all in.

Cathy Matovu says that dialogue-less movies help the viewer get a deeper understanding of the message the artist is trying to portray.

It was not all good news for the Canadiens yesterday. Michael Cammalleri and Jaroslav Spacek were injured in the game.
