There you will be able to do comprehensive searches and more easily find what it is your looking for. Also, you will now be able to access frequent updates throughout the year that will include additional discounts and other savings as they become available for you, this along with updated information of other events and activities of interest.

Early next year a completely free Classified Advertising function will become available that will be reserved exclusively for students and staff within the GTA. You’ll be able to sell, buy, and swap items, search/find things like roommates or study partners and groups, as well as make new friends and other contacts using the Personals section.
