Home Outfitters is having a sale: http://homeoutfitters.flyers ervice...0D6430}&NL=eng (this is for the stores in Brampton, which are closest to me).

They may have some organizational stuff which you may find advantageous.

As is Zellers, which I find MUCH more affordable.

does anyone know how things work with lockers? (if there are any) most of my classes are in TSH and CNH, and i seem to remember seeing lockers in the basement....i could be wrong but if there are, do you have to bring your own lock and just wake any random one? or do you have to get t assigned or something?

I believe you have to pay a fee to use them... as you'll quickly discover, almost nothing on campus is free :(

Yes, you have to pay a rental fee and are assigned one. The lock you also must supply as well.

If you're living on campus though, you really don't need a locker.

Yes, there are toasters available in the common kitchens.

Try places like Sears Warehouse, Zellers, Walmart, Winners, Giant Tiger for sheet sets and stuff.
