Help available for depression
Cracking open the books at the start of a new university year can bring stress and anxiety. Distress centres typically see a spike in calls when students go back to school.
“We tend to see a higher volume of calls from students at this time of year,” said Katherine Carter of the Ottawa Distress Centre.
Students make up about 5 per cent of the centre’s calls, according to Carter. Last year, the 24-hour support line had up to 40,000 calls in total.

An argument for universal education
“Undergraduate education should be tuition-free,” proclaimed the award-winning novelist and essayist John Ralston Saul to a student audience.
Saul’s address on Sept. 30, entitled “Post secondary education as a public good,” was hosted by Carleton’s Graduate Students Association (GSA) as part of Carleton University Students’ Association (CUSA)’s campaign to lower student fees.
