In Canada today is Thanksgiving Monday, but throughout the entire weekend families have come … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving!

After spending 2 hours answering physiological based questions about the environment, I was ready to turn the booklet in and leave. At that point my brain had gone to mush and I was highly doubtful … Continue reading Knowledge is Power
