Are you a young man (Grade 12 or recent high school graduate) who has decided *not* to attend university or college? I’d love to speak to you by phone about your experience, for an article about the stagnation of male enrolment at post-secondary institutions.

These journalists are still in school and are breaking massive stories.
I’d suggest you follow them so, in the future, you can brag that you knew about them ~before they were famous~!!!
Thank you so much! I know it’s a huge concern for many Canterbury families, as their kids commute for hours to and from school each day from all over the city. Thanks for considering!
Good afternoon Sonia, thank you kindly for reaching out to us and for sharing your insight. We are always looking to improve service, and appreciate receiving feedback! We have sent your request, relating to the Route 88, along for consideration! Thanks again ^AA

Hot Stove to kick the day off! Ian Mendes, Kyle Turris and son - we’re excited to have them here for this amazing day with @condorsottawa
I wish I’d named my cat, “Miss American Pie.” That way, every time I left the house, I could say, “Bye, bye, Miss American Pie!” 🎶

An inspiring story about how important it is to visualize your goals! 🌟
Shane Pinto writes down his goals before each hockey season and still posts them inside his childhood bedroom.
And that house his filled with scars and stories from his unique path to the NHL.
I spent time with the Pinto family to understand his journey. theathletic.com/4225131/2023…
