Young guys in hardhats and hockey jerseys, one holding a trombone

Members of UofT’s Lady Godiva Memorial Band belt out “Rubber Ducky” during the 18th Annual AIDS Walk for Life yesterday. [...]

Engineering students in Toronto have transformed themselves, seemingly in the blink of an eye, from beer-guzzling, frosh-hazing homophobes to adorable and eccentric mascots.

They’re having a wine-and-cheese this Wednesday. And, I mean, come on. “Rubber Ducky” – it’s perfect.
