The Other Side of Reason: An OC Transpo crash survivor’s struggle with PTSD

January 3, 2017

“When I stepped into the bus at my stop, I immediately noticed a few things; it was not the regular bus driver, there was a screaming baby in front and the bus was more full than normal. Nearing the bend of the road just prior to the tracks, I looked up and saw cars stopped, rail lights flashing and a train approaching, then people yelling at the driver to stop.  But we continued, more frantic screams and then impact.”

Vienna comes to the NAC!

January 2, 2017

There’s the Baroque opulence of Schönbrunn Palace, the beautiful strolls one can talk through Stadtpark, gorge yourself on chocolate inside Xocolat and sip coffee surrounded by the art in the Leopold. Of course, we cannot forget the vibrant and romantic history of the music.
