My opinion piece on the residence fire at McMaster University is now online.

I like to highlight two points I make in the piece on this blog as well.

The first is the amazing work of McMaster’s security service. I’ve always been amazed by their professionalism and diligence in performance of their duties.

The second is the outpouring of support for students showed by The Ainslie Wood/Westdale Community Association of Resident Homeowners Inc.

I expect this will be the last blog post on this topic for awhile, I will be monitoring the story and writing follow-up reports.
