Which campus did you apply to for Brock - Hamilton, St. Kits, or whichever one had the space? I'm less than a kilometre from the Hamilton campus, and could help you a bit with housing in the neighbourhood. And if you ended up doing a placement around here, I might volunteer to take a student teacher. :)

Nowhere in Southern Ontario is easy on supply teachers at the moment. Hamilton has a cap on the supply list, and it's a "real cap" rather than a "working days cap." That means there are X number of people on the supply list, and even if they know that 20% of those are only working forty days or less of the school year, they won't pro-rate the list so that someone else can take the remaining 60% of a job. So we don't have enough supply teachers, AND new teachers have trouble getting on the list ( ... )

I saw Grand Erie! I actually think it would be cool to teach in a rural area. I grew up in a big suburb (Brampton) and kinda like the country. I also don't think I'd mind driving a bit ( ... )
