Daniel Giroux has been president of Collège Boréal for scarcely two months now, but already he knows the job is always going to be a numbers game.
The college's new president and over 20 board members were in Timmins recent;y for Boréal's annual retreat, which included a tour of the Goldcorp Dome Mine.
And though the term "board retreat" may sound like a lot of fun and relaxation, that didn't quite seem to be the case.

New Zealand is continuing to shake after being hit by a magnitude 7.5 earthquake, and there are fears the underground stress could set off even bigger tremors nearby.
"We currently calculate a... 32 per cent (probability) within the next 30 days," says John Ristau at GNS Science, New Zealand's geoscience research and consultancy firm. "An earthquake like this can increase the risk of a major earthquake nearby, although it can also decrease stress on a nearby fault and lessen the risk."

Scientists have found a key indicator in determining whether the presence of carbon, found in the Earth's mantle, is derived from continental crust — a step toward better understanding the history of crustal formation on Earth's surface and the rate at which tectonic plates have moved throughout geologic time, which can be linked to the cooling of Earth's mantle.
Results of a new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience show evidence of varying ratios of boron isotopes in igneous rocks, known as carbonatites, of different ages.
