Cigarette-craving students who are looking to buy a pack of smokes will

Students lack knowledge of sexually transmitted diseases, report says 3
Many Canadian high school students are unaware of the causes of infertility and do not know that sexually transmitted diseases can affect their ability to have children. Ninety-four per cent
of the students did not know that sexually transmitted infections, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, can lead to infertility, according to a report in the journal Fertility and Sterility. REUTERS
Insomnia costs billions: Study
Canada
Insomnia costs Quebec about $6.5 billion a year, mostly through lost
productivity among those who can’t sleep, according to a new study.
The figures calculated by researchers from the University of Laval in
Quebec City suggest “the economic burden of untreated insomnia is
much higher than that of treating insomnia,” so there should be more
studies of therapies. CBC NEWS ONLINE

Selection will vary by store. Savings are off our regular prices, unless otherwise specified. Everyday Bay Value, just-reduced, Power Buys, Manager’s Specials, licensed departments, Salviati, Vera Wang and Hbc Foundation charity merchandise are excluded. When
you see “POWER BUY” or “MANAGER’S SPECIAL” you will know we have found an exceptional deal to pass on to you. We may tell you the COMPARABLE VALUE on the price ticket and/or a sign, so you will see the price another retailer in Canada charges or
would likely charge for the same or a comparable value item. Quantities of our Power Buys and Manager’s Specials and items located in any “Style Outlet” in-store departments are limited and may vary from store to store – no rainchecks or substitutions. When
we say “PRICE CUT”, we mean the existing everyday price is being lowered temporarily. See in-store for details.
