    Please share RAT Tracker as widely as possible. The more contributors we have, the better the data and the more information parents, students and education staff have regarding the safety of Toronto's public schools.

    The closure of the Ontario Science Centre, @AlisonMotluk writes, was a murder. Then devastated staff were given four months to dispose of the body. The former Science Centre employee takes readers inside the final days of a beloved institution.
