In the Business Department we had the privilege of having Steve Alex, a Niagara University<br />
student teacher, and Mrs. Ella Chan MBA, a Toronto Board Adult Education Co-op<br />
placement teacher assistant, help out and train with us this year. They allowed us to learn<br />
new things faster and use technology more in the classroom because of their ease with Excel<br />
and accounting software.<br />

Accounting Club News<br />
In March, thanks to training by the Sam Lazar from the Canada Revenue Agency, members<br />
volunteered to do tax returns for <strong>Thornlea</strong> students and we achieved our goal of getting back<br />
at least $2000 for our students thanks to the Ontario Tax Credit program. Brian Lee, Fedor<br />
Gorin, Rob Gelman and Mike Hokkanen were very busy and excellent tax preparers.<br />
Our accounting students also entered 3 different contests in May. The Coin Contest is<br />
sponsored by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario and was written in<br />
Richmond Hill thanks to the cooperation of Ernst & Young LLP. The OBEA accounting<br />
contest was on-line and 18 students took part in it.
