For some students, driving is second-nature and they don’t think about much when they’re behind the wheel apart from getting to their destination. But when you’re on a solo trip or going for a long drive in winter, it’s important to take certain safety measures to ensure that you don’t get injured while you’re on the road. According to statistics, road crashes accounted for 35% of all deaths among 15 to 19-year-olds and 30% of deaths among those ages 20 to 24 in Canada. Learning to drive safely, being well prepared, and anticipating certain scenarios can mean the difference between life and death......

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and I’ve been spending all of my free time watching Christmas movies and drinking all of the hot chocolate. We asked some of our contributors to share their favourite Christmas movie with you! I’ll start it off with Home Alone – my all time favourite Christmas movie and one I watch multiple times every single year. I love when Kevin sets up all of his traps for the self named ‘Wet Bandits’ – I laugh every single time I watch it. Elf – “I have so many memories of watching it over the years......

If the message that they were trying to send is they can be an offensive threat…the Barrie Colts were the recipient of a pretty strong message. The Sudbury Wolves ran over the Colts in an 8-2 victory last night. It was all lines firing last night as goals came from Sokolov (2), Murray (2) and Drake Pilon, Tabak, Lajeunesse, and Carson each lighting the lamp once. It was exactly the message they needed to send, with injuries plaguing the Sudbury Wolves, a big win heading into a Northern Rivalry weekend at home, should help carry some momentum into the......

Writing a weekend roundup when the hometown squad managed only one point in a three game weekend, requires a minimum 3 cups of coffee before sitting down, more to calm myself down than anything. We knew coming into this season, things were not going to instantly click. There were so many moving parts that changed in the off season, so to expect immediate drastic changes was unrealistic. However, 22 games into this season, I’m not seeing the things that were talked about pre, this season commencing, and it’s starting to show in the faces of these young players. No......

It has been an injury plagued season to date for the Sudbury Wolves, but this weekend they should get an offensive boost, with the return of Macauley Carson. Carson went down hard into the end boards during his first game of the regular season, which resulted in a broken wrist. He has had to sit in the stands and watch his club for 18 games, and he’s had just about enough of that. Carson is also slated to play in Monday’s OHL vs Russia game taking place at the Sudbury Arena. Although he would have liked to have a......

The French Riviera, more specifically Nice, has made my favorite places in the world list. Unfortunately, my travel buddy and I only had 1 day to spend there (rookie mistake). Here’s what made our séjour so memorable: One hour boat cruise of Villefranche sur mer A yacht tour in Nice is an absolute must. The area boasts an incredible coastline that will wow any tourist. Villefranche Bay, once an active fishing village, still retains its pastel-colored villas nestled in a beautiful mountain range. The Bay contains historic buildings such as the Saint-Elme Citadel, built in the 16th century to protect......

Mmmm, one of the best parts about fall is that it also happens to be squash season! Of course we all associate this time of year with the classic pumpkin spice craze but let’s not forget about some of our other favourites from the squash family. Butternut, spaghetti, zucchini, acorn – they’re all a tasty treat to add to your plate! Nothing warms you up better on a chilly fall day quite like a hearty bowl of soup and being the season this buttercup squash will do just the trick. You will need: 1 medium size buttercup squash 1L......

There’s something about October that just makes you want to curl up and enjoy some fiction. For a lot of people that means curling up with a long novel they’ve been meaning to get to, or even one they re-read every year. But for we film lovers, it means digging up a few scare flicks. As for yours truly, I like to opt for older gothic and horror films, because they’re the ones I watched growing up this time of year and there’s a sense of nostalgia. Sure, some of them are campy (if not straight up ridiculous), but......
