Send us a textBy every measure, violence is skyrocketing inside Ontario schools.According to a survey released earlier this year by the Ontario School Board Council of Unions (OSBCU), nearly 75 per cent of education workers experience violent or disruptive incidents in their work area, with more than a third facing these incidents daily. Among educational assistants and child and youth workers, the numbers are even more alarming: 95.8 per cent — nearly every single one — say they experience violence at work.Data recently released to Global News under freedom of information legislation was equally shocking: the level of violence reported by school boards to the Ministry of Education has risen by 77 per cent since Doug Ford's Progressive Conservatives took office, with more than 4,400 incidents reported in the 2023-24 year alone.This exclusive story from Sudbury.com, published just a few hours ago, is even more evidence of the crisis facing school boards across the province.On tonight's episode of Closer Look, we speak to two experts who understand the problem as well as anyone: Joe Tigani, the president OSBCU, and Darby Mallory, co-author of a University of Ottawa report titled ‘Running on Fumes: Violence, Austerity, and Institutional Neglect in Ontario Schools.'Hosted by Village Media's Michael Friscolanti and Scott Sexsmith, Closer Look is a new daily podcast that goes way beyond the headlines with insightful, in-depth conversations featuring our reporters and editors, leading experts, key stakeholders and big newsmakers.Fresh episodes drop every Monday to Friday at 7 p.m. right in your local news feed — and on the show's dedicated website: closerlookpodcast.ca.

She was never seen again — and not a single piece of physical evidence linked to her disappearance has ever been found.Earlier this summer, the Toronto Police Service marked the 40th anniversary of Nicole's case by announcing a $50,000 reward for new information that leads to her location.Police also released a new forensic age-progression sketch that shows what Morin could possibly look like today, at 48 years old. “This case is not closed,” Det.-Sgt. Steve Smith told reporters, standing outside Morin's former building on the day of the anniversary. “It has never been forgotten, and it only takes one piece of new information to make that difference.”On tonight's episode of Closer Look, we are joined by two people who continue to hold out hope that someone will come forward with the elusive clue that will crack the case: Melissa Elaschuk, a childhood friend of Nicole who went on to become a police officer, and Amanda Pick, CEO of the Missing Children Society of Canada.Hosted by Village Media's Michael Friscolanti and Scott Sexsmith, Closer Look is a new daily podcast that goes way beyond the headlines with insightful, in-depth conversations featuring our reporters and editors, leading experts, key stakeholders and big newsmakers.Fresh episodes drop every Monday to Friday at 7 p.m. right in your local news feed — and on the show's dedicated website: closerlookpodcast.ca.

The college sports landscape is undergoing a revolution that few fans truly understand. In this eye-opening conversation, University of Michigan lecturer Greg Dooley breaks down the complex world of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) compensation that's transforming collegiate athletics from its century-old amateur foundations into something resembling professional sports.Dooley expertly navigates the various ways today's college athletes receive compensation—from traditional scholarships to corporate sponsorships, booster-funded "collectives," and new revenue-sharing programs that allow schools to directly pay athletes up to $20.5 million annually. The financial implications are staggering, with even powerhouse programs like Michigan facing budget shortfalls and universities adding student fees to cover costs.What makes this discussion particularly valuable is Dooley's balanced perspective on both benefits and concerns. While acknowledging that compensating athletes is fundamentally fair given their role in generating massive revenues, he highlights troubling consequences like the cutting of non-revenue sports and the thousands of athletes who enter the transfer portal only to end up without teams, scholarships, or educational opportunities.Most compelling is Dooley's insight into the potential future of college athletics. Will top programs eventually break away to form professional minor leagues affiliated with universities? How will the relationship between academics and athletics evolve? And who should bear responsibility for developing future professional athletes—universities or the leagues that ultimately benefit from their training?Whether you're a die-hard sports fan or simply interested in the changing economics of higher education, this conversation provides crucial context for understanding a transformation that extends far beyond the playing field.
