Suspected bomb at Kwantlen

 

Last Monday the Surrey campus of Kwantlen Polytechnic University was evacuated by RCMP. The order came after a staff member found a small metal object closed at both ends. Police sent in a robot to detonate the device, which turned out to be nothing more than a pipe. They will continue to look into whether or not the object was intentionally made to look like an explosive. Students were reportedly running while pushing and shoving to leave a building.

Higher Education Strategy Associates (HESA) released a report that names Simon Fraser University as one of the top 10 research universities in Canada. The ranking was part of Measuring Academic Research in Canada:  Field-Normalized Academic Rankings 2012. SFU was placed sixth in science and engineering as well as 10th in social sciences and humanities. HESA is a research firm based in Toronto, Ontario.

 

Statistics Canada releases census data

 

According to Statistics Canada’s 2011 census, 4.3 million Canadians in their 20s had either never left their parents’ home or had moved back in.  That number makes up for 42 per cent of the total, 10 per cent higher than twenty years ago.  However, it shows a very small increase from 2006.  In 1971, only about one in four young adults lived in their parent’s home.  The data also showed that young men were more likely to live at home than young women.
