Most interesting to read the profile on 1814 Elliot Rodger who entered RMC in 1924 and graduated in 1928. I have heard the name all my life but have never actually met him. He was a classmate of my Father’s. For quite a few years there were just three left – 1800 Molson, 1801 Morres,…
Gotcha!

Today there are very broad academic options at RMC. As a result, my oldest son is in first year, my middle son…

With Change Comes Opportunity Whoa, 2008 finished with a bang! I sold my half of IJ Solutions to Ian Miller and have begun 2009 as an independent. For anyone that has started their own company, you know that this sort of event does not go by unnoticed. So, before I go any further, I want…

I often hear wails of discontent coming from trades people who have been made to comply with project specifications, etc. to which they may have taken a dislike. For the most…
