Published in the Hanover Post 17 June 2005 The recent death of RCMP Constable Jose Agostinho of the Wetaskiwin, Alberta Detachment, has brought to the forefront yet again, the dangers faced every day by Peace Officers across Canada.

September 2000 A new school year is upon us and with it, another crop of already or soon-to-be debt-ridden students will be descending upon the campuses of Ontario’s colleges and universities.
