Dr. Skillicorn says people stealing packages are taking a risk because they don’t know if the homeowner has a camera installed.
A U.S. study shows over 11 million households have fallen victim to thieves stealing packages that are being delivered and dropped on your doorstep. Now a Canadian company has come up with a new design to secure your orders. Mike Drolet reports.

On November 8th and 9th, the ACM Canadian Celebration of Women in Computing (CAN-CWIC) https://www.can-cwic.ca/ held its 9th annual event. The inaugural event (the ACM Ontario Celebration of Women in Computing) was organized by Professor Wendy Powley and the Women in the School of Computing group in 2010. CAN-CWIC 2019 was the biggest year to date with approximately 750 attendees from 34 post-secondary schools, 39 companies/ organizations, and 12 secondary school and was once again organized by the School of Computing.
Professor Wendy Powley served as General Chair, Dr. Amber Simpson served as Program Chair and Dr. Nafiseh Kahani served as the Poster Session Chair. Many School of Computing alumni, now working at tech companies such as Google, Microsoft, TD, Connected etc were presenters at the conference or were on hand to recruit for their companies at the career fair.
The conference welcomes women in technology for networking, learning, and mentoring. Highlights from the weekend included a presentation on Human-in-the-Loop Machine Learning and Computer Science for Everyone, Panel sessions on Imposter Syndrome and Implicit Bias, a Graduate Forum, an Inclusive Teaching for Computer Science workshop and a Career Fair featuring all our sponsor representatives.
For the first year at CAN-CWIC, we recognized 9th-12th-grade students who self-identify as women, genderqueer, or non-binary for their computing-related achievements and interests with the NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing. This is the first time that these prestigious awards have been held outside of the US.
More than 80 School of Computing students, staff and faculty attended CAN-CWIC, making us the largest represented group in attendance.
Thanks to all who contributed to make CAN-CWIC 2019 a huge success. Special thanks to Wendy Powley for her many years of hard work in making CAN-CWIC a major national event.
Congratulations to our Keynote speaker, Amber Simpson, Associate Professor at Queen’s University for sharing her expert ideas in using Data Science to improve Medical services.

As the Liberal Government decides who is going to build our 5G cell phone networks, former US National Security Advisor says don’t allow China’s Huawei to do it. Expert at Queen’s University shares what he thinks about this.
We had incredible attendance at our booth with 100s of prospective students at Fall Preview 2019 on November 2nd and 3rd. Many recognized us from the Ontario Universities Fair. They loved seeing all the different focuses that we offer, trying out the demos supplied by the Perk Lab, and spent a lot of time talking to our current students and professors. Special thanks to all the volunteers who made this event such a success for us!
