Academic Integrity

DID YOU KNOW?

If you use an image (drawing, photo, etc.), or take words from a book, newspaper, website or other source, Canada's intellectual property laws state that you need to include information about the creator of the image or text and where it was found, so you can give credit to the person who created it.
