Ever tried to sift through the statcan website? It can get kind of crazy, and just when you think you found something good, you need to order it and/or pay... argh. Anyway, here's one place to start poking around if you are looking to do some population planning...

Question of the Day

Okay, so for those of you that were on the western leg of the fairs, I know you're probably expecting some slightly random brainteaser that, while unusual and seemingly ridiculous, actually spurs on some great conversation and makes the day a whole lot more fun. I don't want to disappoint you, but this question is going to have a slightly different feel to it. Without any more preamble, here's my question:

As a admissions professional, our jobs require a large amount of commitment to both travel and office time. What things do you do to refresh yourself on the road? At home? How do you maintain relationships and community? What sort of things keep you alive personally so that you can be motivated professionally?

Can't wait to hear how you all weigh in on this one!
