A new study coming out of the CHEO Research Institute indicates that 96.2% of Canadian children and youth did not meet the 24-hour movement guidelines six months into the COVID-19 pandemic, and 73% did not meet screen time recommendations. Researchers found that low parental perceived capability to restrict screen time and less time spent outdoors was a big reason why.

Modern photonics beamed onto the scene with the invention of the laser in 1960, and has continued to make tremendous strides ever since. Today, the spotlight shines bright on two University of Ottawa researchers who have each received a prestigious Optica award for their glowing contributions to the science of light.

When Professor Ewurabena Simpson was in medical school, two supervisors commented on the fact that she was quiet. “Do you think it’s because you’re the only woman in the group?” asked one, a man. “Perhaps you should go into a field that’s less stressful,” said the other, a woman. And she remembers thinking, “Why is being quiet a bad thing?”

North America’s opioid crisis has resulted in nearly 30,000 deaths since 2016 and is devastating communities across Canada. In response to escalating overdoses, Health Canada formally approved providing a “safer supply” of regulated drugs for people who are at risk of overdose from the toxic unregulated market.
