Back to the Future has finally arrived

Marty McFly is no longer in the future.
In Back to the Future ll, Marty McFly and Emmet (Doc) Brown traveled to the Future.
Oct. 21 2015 was officially designated Back to the Future Day — that was the date when Marty McFly and (Doc) Brown traveled from 1985 to 2015. Although hoverboards, self-tying shoelace and crazy ‘Pepsi Perfect’ beverages are still not prevalent, we celebrate the film’s innovative projections.

Thorncliffe protesters demonstrate against new Ontario health curriculum

An organizer of the Oct. 1 protest, pulling students out of classes at Thorncliffe Park Public School, says his group wants to send a strong message to the Ontario government regarding its new health curriculum. About 200 parents and children gathered outside the school in East York on Oct. 1. Protestors formed human chains and marched with their picket signs on Thorncliffe Park Drive. They were protesting the new sex component of the health curriculum in Ontario’s public schools. The parents pulled more than half of the students, about 740 children, from the school for the day.
