If this applies to you, are you happy with what you do? What are your hours like? What do you do and how did you get involved? If you've read any of my p...

My daughter's current school feeds into St. Thomas Aquinas (STA) Catholic Secondary School in Oakville. Most of her friends will likel...

I'm in Gr.11 and I don't have the slightest idea where to apply to university in Gr.12. Is it a little too early to be worrying about this? I'm interested in Neurology/Neuroscience, but I'm worried about if I will get in or not when I apply next year because of my math marks. I get above 80% on all ...
