Fanshawe College Faces $10M Lawsuit From Paralegal Program Students
Students enrolled in the Paralegal Program at Fanshawe College are enraged with the knowledge that their professors and institution are not properly preparing them for the licensing examinations, and real-world legal practices.
Though never proven in court, Isabel Koestner, a representative of the lawsuit, claims that her professors were not professionally qualified to be teaching, and that they got their qualifications from an online course that spanned a few weeks.

London Catholic schools, are you cooling off yet?
We bet you are! Because after many years, the London District Catholic School Board (LDCSB), has finally reached the long awaited goal of having air conditioning in all of their classrooms!
The project was identified as a priority approximately five years ago, and they’ve made little, but impactful, gains each year. Though many schools had air conditioning, their systems were outdated, and insufficient for the size of the classrooms.
Now replaced with Variable Refrigerant Flow split systems, the old “Partial AC” is no longer an issue for students and teachers alike.
