I could not fill out the survey because it required javascript. So I sent them a note about that in their web server logs : -)

https ://beta.survey.weather.gc.ca/path/to/survey/xx=blah?comment=I+cant+do+your+survey+because+it+requires+javascript

The URL here is only a likeness of the actual one I used, doing this from memory to give you an idea of what I did.

I thought that the OCDSB having a government appointed supervisor was meant to get rid of the expenses that werenโ€™t needed? /s @ottaross @hannorein

Ugly, and ridiculous overuse of blank space.
(e.g. https://nepeanhs.ocdsb.ca/academics-landing)

Every time I look at it, I think, โ€œSomeone paid for this??โ€
