Off the Beaten PATH: How This Chief Trading Officer Begins Their Day

From the ground up, Toronto’s financial district is characterized by Bay Street’s bronze-tinted skyscrapers and black painted steel, by its white collars and briefcases. Home to the Toronto Stock Exchange, Canada’s five major banks, and a plethora of law firms and business corporations, the BIA employs over 20,000 people throughout the workday. And despite the golden apparition of the Royal Bank Plaza when it’s struck by the setting sun or the architectural facadism that blends together modern t

How Stathletes CEO Meghan Chayka Introduced the New-Age of Hockey

When a hockey player handles a puck, most take it at face value.

Players and fans, friends and family may see an opportunity to score or to steal or to pass, a net to shoot at or to defend.

When Meghan Chayka—CEO and co-founder of sports data company Stathletes—watches a hockey player handling a puck, she sees a multitude of calculations and statistical possibilities: the path to an attempted shot, the time the player enters the offensive zone, the sizable distance between them and every teamm

Rising inflation and interest rate hikes give students a run for their money

If the oat milk on your Metro run tastes more expensive than usual, that’s because it is.

As inflation rates continue to soar in Canada, necessary goods like groceries and gasoline, as well as rental costs, are just a few expenses rising in price, leaving Ryerson students second-guessing more than just the items at the supermarket.

In January, Statistics Canada’s December consumer price index, which tracks the change in prices nationwide, was up 4.8 per cent from last year. This means in 2020,

When Cancer Hit Us Like A Tidal Wave, We Learned To Breathe Underwater

I started swimming at the age of three. I dreaded the pool. The chlorine stung my eyes, and water would get in my nose. But my father, who had never learned to swim as a child, insisted that I kept it up.

I knew how to dive by the time I was 10 years old. I was learning first aid and aquatic rescue drills by 12. I still dreaded it very much. My family was already so busy, with both my sister and I enrolled in dance classes four times a week, along with piano and vocal lessons in between. Swimmi

Levelling the playing field in Canadian sports media

I can still count the number of racialized women in sports journalism on the fingers of one hand. I hope not for long

Growing up, I was a competitive dancer. I loved it — from the pink tights, ballet bun and barre exercises, to the beauty of the choreography and spending time with my team. My favourite part was training. I enjoyed watching myself progress as a dancer and seeing the hours of practice pay off when I’d finally get the petit allegro right or complete a turn combo. The harder I work

Students struggle to find safe, stable jobs as unemployment rate rises

In early January, second-year media production student Gus Cousins left a two-year tenure at his neighbourhood Canadian Tire in East Toronto.

There were a variety of reasons for his resignation: from an understaffed schedule and irregular holiday season hours, to a six-table lunchroom in which only one person was permitted to work each table and 25 staff members were working eight-hour shifts.

“Where were we supposed to eat if there was already someone at every table and it was cold outside?”

How students can maximize their returns this tax season

It’s tax season again and if the idea of sitting at the kitchen table drowning in stacks of documents and a calculator doesn’t sound appealing to you, you’re not alone.

For most, the annual tax filing process can seem tedious, lengthy and for first-timers, completely foreign. Fortunately, according to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), there are ways to make completing an annual tax return simple.

The government uses taxes to provide services like education and healthcare to the country—contribu
