CING-FM (Energy 95.3) is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts at 95.3 FM in Hamilton, Ontario. The station airs a hot adult contemporary format. CING's studios are located on Main Street West in Hamilton, while its transmitter is located atop the Niagara Escarpment near Upper Centennial Parkway. CING is owned by Corus Entertainment. CING was launched in 1976 by Burlington Broadcasting, at 107.9 FM in Burlington. Initially an easy listening and then an oldies station, the station switched to a dance format in the summer of 1991, which garnered a huge audience, after several months of adding new-age music to its mixture of classical and MOR music. The station applied to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) a number of times in the 1980s for frequency changes in the hopes of better reaching the more lucrative Toronto market, but was denied each time.

McMaster University Medical School
McMaster University Medical School

The Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine, known as the McMaster University School of Medicine prior to 2004, is the medical school of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. It is operated by the McMaster Faculty of Health Sciences. It is one of two medical programs in Canada, along with the University of Calgary, that operates on an accelerated 3-year MD program, instead of the traditional 4-year MD program. Currently, McMaster ranks 11th in the world and 2nd in Canada for medicine according to the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2021. In 2012, McMaster ranked 14th in the world and 1st in Canada in medicine, according to the Times Higher Education Rankings.The school received 5,228 applications for the Class of 2022, the most applications of any medical school in Canada, and had an acceptance rate of 3.9%. The average cumulative GPA of entering undergraduates in the Class of 2020 was 3.87 and the average MCAT Verbal Reasoning or Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills score was 129, a score in the 95th percentile. Unlike many other medical schools, McMaster University's medical school does not drop any courses or years in their GPA calculation, as well as only uses the MCAT Verbal score in the MCAT component of their admissions calculation. Students also have to write the CASPer admissions test, first developed by McMaster in 2010. Since its formation in 1965, the school invented the small-group, case-based learning curriculum which is now known as PBL or problem-based learning. In addition, the school was the first in the world to institute a 3-year M.D. program in 1969, with classes being held year round. In the 1980s, McMaster developed and coined the term "evidence-based medicine" as a way to approach clinical problem solving. McMaster also developed the Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) system in 2001 for medical school admissions which has been adopted as part of the admissions system in professional schools around the world. In 2010, McMaster developed the CASPer test for medical school admissions, which has recently been adopted at several medical schools across North America.

McMaster University Security Service

McMaster University Security Service employs Special Constables in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Special Constables are not police officers as stated in section 53 of the Police Services Act of Ontario. However Special Constables do hold the authority of a police officer when working within their approved area or boundaries. McMaster University employs 20 Special Constables who are sworn Peace Officers and possess all the power of a municipal police officer. The Constables are sworn in through the Hamilton Police Services Board, after being approved by the Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services. The department also employs a number of civilians including dispatchers and administrative support personnel. In the spring of 2005, McMaster Security (Special Constable) Services merged with the Parking Services Department to streamline costs. McMaster Special Constables are on duty 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and are supervised by Sergeants, an Operations Manager (Staff Sergeant) as well as a Director, all are Peace Officers as well. McMaster Officers do not carry a firearm. McMaster University is one of only two universities in Ontario where special constables carry both an expandable baton and pepper spray for both their safety and the public's protection. McMaster Constables Patrol the 300 acre (121 hectare) campus year-round by foot, bicycle and vehicle. McMaster Constables are responsible for the preservation of life and property of the 30,000 full and part-time students and the University's 56 buildings, with two new large construction projects underway. McMaster Constables enforce federal, provincial, and municipal statutes on campus as well as liaising with local police, fire, and Ambulance agencies. McMaster Constables also liaise with many on campus services that deal with safety and the wellbeing of students, such as the Emergency First Response Team, and the Student Walk Home Attendant Team. Responsibility for liaising with these student run services falls under the umbrella of the Crime Prevention Office, which is staffed by a Sergeant, two Constables, and during the summer employs a summer student. Many crime prevention programs such as information seminars and displays, as well as safety and security audits are conducted by the crime prevention office. The lost and found is currently maintained by the department as well. Throughout the campus, there are thousands of alarm points ranging from intrusion, fire alarm, panic and environmental alarms. There are also several hundred Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras on campus. These are monitored at all times by the dispatchers. On campus, they are known by many students affectionately as 'Mac Five-O' which originates back from when students used to play the Hawaii Five-O theme song to officers as they patrolled the quads.
