Ontario high school students want McMaster. Figures released Wednesday by the Ontario Universities' Application Centre show the number of students listing McMaster as their first choice is up more than 50 per cent.

Posted on Jan. 23: McMaster Credit Union to relocate

The need to find more space for academic, research and support programs on campus means changes for Wentworth House. The University will no longer be able to offer space to the McMaster Credit Union. It will stay in its current location until the end of May, 2003 and will then move to the old TD bank building in Westdale. The credit union's ATMs currently located in Wentworth House, the Faculty of Health Sciences and the Downtown Centre will continue to serve customers, and the University will work with officials to determine if other locations are needed. Wentworth House will continue to be home to the Phoenix, the McMaster Daycare Centre and the MACycle Co-op. Renovations to convert the first floor to office space should begin in June.

Posted on Jan 23: Lift for native health care

About 60 front-line health-care workers from First Nations communities across the province have gathered at McMaster's downtown Centre for Continuing Education for an intensive six-day training program. The goal is to help Ontario's aboriginal communities improve the case management skills of their home- and community-care workers so that they can better assess the needs of their clients and help them receive the best possible care that might be available. This is the third group of people to pass through the program since December and when this session ends this weekend, almost all of Ontario's 134 First Nations communities will have sent at least one representative. Read all about it in today's Hamilton Spectator. (The Hamilton Spectator, Jan. 23, 2003)
