Playing a 90-minute soccer game requires a lot of energy: sprinting, tackling, recovering and then running some more. 

That’s not to mention hours a week of on-the-pitch and off-pitch training.

As Canada recalibrates its trade relationships with China and deepens economic ties with Europe, questions are emerging about what those shifts mean for the country’s auto industry and manufacturing base.

Peter Frise, a University of Windsor engineering professor and automotive expert, discusses how recent trade developments could affect vehicle imports, regional suppliers and Canada’s long-term competitiveness in a changing global market.

Black mold, salmonella, E. coli and even brain-eating amoeba took over the CAW Student Centre March 16.

Elementary and secondary teachers play a critical role in building student skills in responsible environmental citizenship. 

That’s why, when the Faculty of Education recently revised its B.Ed. course offerings, it was only logical that one of the new electives focus on environmental sustainability.
