September 22, 2013 by Cayla 2 Comments

I know it sounds nuts, but even though I returned from France two months ago, I still keep thinking and talking about my experience at La Roche Posay.

News Headlines for Wednesday, April 29, 2009

April 29, 2009 by Kath

In National News: Pope apologizes for residential-school abuse (Globe and Mail)In our opinion: We once read that offering an apology brings grace.
