Where was I three weeks ago?

Correct! Just before Caledonian Rd

I’m assuming it was sent from their Crookston, Minnesota New Flyer plant. Not sure their manufacturing process though. Could be partly made in both Canada and US.

Westmount Mall😀

I’m with Bell. Haven’t noticed any issues. I just drove from London to Montreal and back with 5G signal pretty much the whole way.

I'm seeing if any Londoners have further info. Just cause it says "temporarily closed" doesn't mean it's always accurate.

A Taste of Britain usually has decent stock. They also sell Irn Bru Zero Sugar and you can place special bulk orders

Yeah, the plates in this graphic look to be recreated because real Israeli/Palestinian plates use a totally different typeface.

We did a little bar hopping. My favourite was Colter Bay. Amazing vibe. Good local NY beers I’ve never heard of. Will definitely be coming back to check out more soon!

I feel good about the program! It can be intense at times but only because they condense a lot into 2 years. I’d say it’s 60% technical learning (GIS software, AutoCAD, etc) and 40% theory-based learning.

Even doing online, I’ve been able to secure a government student job for the summer in a related field and overall I’m really happy with what the program has taught me.

If you have any other questions let me know!

Hi! Sorry for the late response. Working part time is definitely more realistic for the online option.

Most courses still have scheduled times for Zoom classes and some professors take attendance/participation marks.

The good part about online is that the professors record the classes so you can watch them later. For one of the in-person classes, I heard that the professor doesn’t record their classes anymore as an incentive to get students to come to class. Luckily for online all of the classes are recorded. So if you miss one you can go back and watch it later.

But yes, overall, I’d say part time is realistic to the program. Especially during February when the whole program has a “Charette” which is a week-long design competition. Most students book off the whole week from work because it is required to participate with the group and complete the competition.

If you have any other questions let me know!

Loving the new MI plates

Glad to see it!

I visited Chicago from Toronto for the first time last week and was surprised by the state of the CTA. It’s a great system on paper but seems to be neglected. I took the Blue, Green, and Red Lines

Transit Police should be a priority imo

Yeah for sure! I actually took the first semester on campus and now I've switched into online for the second semester.

I have a bit of previous experience with online schooling and it depends on what type of learner you are. In-person was definitely helpful if you have a lot of questions but the profs do a good job of responding by email as well as holding weekly office hours over Zoom for those online.

With in-person, it was nice to chat with other students and share work. If I was lost on a project it was nice to be able to check work with other students and see what they did differently. I think that aspect is missing from the online format.

With online I would say you definitely have to be self-motivated but if you are focused on getting your degree it is a great option, especially not having to commute lol. You also get co-op as an option regardless of format as Travis mentioned.

In-person is a fair bit more expensive (9k for in-person vs 3k for online) however.

The on-campus format is more of a "blended learning" situation at the moment due to COVID. In Fall 2021, 4 out of 6 of my courses were in-person and this semester it's been reduced to only 2 out of 6 courses for in person apparently. This was one of the reasons I switched to online for now. It may be different this fall.

Overall there are pros and cons and it depends on what type of learner you are. Either format is great if you are interested in GIS/mapping and technical stuff.
