The land where the school is located is on the ancestral lands of the Attawandaron (Neutral Nation). How about Attawandaron HIgh School?

Hourly wage doesn't tell the whole story. Do the math - if they are only scheduled 80 hours/month they are making $41K per year (for those with most experience). Try living in most big cities in Canada with that wage nowadays.If they were actually paid for the hours they work (at least 100 hours/month paid) that would be minimum.

Where is Scott Reid in all this? What does he have to say? Would have been nice to get his take about ripping off so many people and leaving people almost destitute who trusted him but I'm sure his lawyer has told him not to comment as the RCMP are/were investigating with forensic accountants trying to follow the money trail. I'd rather get my money back first and then they can put him in the slammer. Perhaps wishful thinking though.

Yes US is 20 MPH (which is 32 KPH). Speed cameras are also used significantly in the US especially in school zones BUT tickets are not typically issued unless 10 MPH over with no shortage of tickets being issued for going 10+mph - that speed is 16 KPH over. I would have no problem with issuing tickets for anyone going over 9 KPH. I was issued a ticket for going 12 KPH over in an area that I frequent and I was surprised as I drive through those areas what feels like a crawl with bicycles, escooters and ebikes passing by me regularly. The City should share what speed triggers a ticket as I don't think most people would intentionally drive faster if they know as it feels miniscule. I do notice I keep my eye on my speedometer too much in those zones which is really distracted driving and not safe. I do know how much revenue the City is collecting with the speed cameras and if this continues I would like the city to negotiate a better deal with the vendor given the increase in cameras.

I was issued a ticket for going 42 in a 30 zone and I knew there was a camera as I go past that school zone at least once daily. My ticket was issued at 4:53 p.m. on a Friday in July 2024 (a week before that camera was moved to another location August 1). The camera is now back again and has been in place around that same school for 8 months in the past year (on two different streets covering the school that's located on a corner). I was guilty and paid my ticket that was approximately $80??.

Yes, and where to buy them in Guelph or provide a link to their website would be helpful.
Instead of just reprinting as a ICYM story again - would be nice to get an update from Guelph Humane society (or did I miss an update??) Did the remaining ill dogs survive? Was enough money raised to cover the vet care and aftercare until they are ready to be adopted?
