First year textbooks (life sci) pdf
Are there any first year life science textbooks I can find online as pdfs? I just want to get a little ahead and study up.

Don't bother, practically 1/4 of each of your classes is going to be high-school review anyways. Turn on your brain's autopilot for September and enjoy the ride 
Once you move onto campus (I'm assuming you'll be in residence), there are a crap-ton of textbooks .pdf's on DC++

You can find the PHYSICS 1B03 textbook out there somewhere, as well as the MATH 1A03 one. I would presume MATH 1AA3 uses the same text.
BIO 1A03/1M03 have custom McMaster editions which you won't be able to find.
Last year, CHEM 1A03/1AA3 had a new edition of a textbook so it wasn't available online but it's a pretty common textbook so you can probably find it by now.
PSYCH 1X03/1XX3 you won't need the textbook but I couldn't find it when I tried.
ECON 1B03/1BB3 they're releasing new versions so you won't be able to find it.
MATH 1LS3 I wasn't able to find, nor did I really use the textbook.

Confirmed that Math 1A03 textbook = Math 1AA3 textbook
Also for psych 1X03, the professor of the course did write a textbook for the course and it was all electronic. Also it was pages of pages of text after text... |

I completely agree.
You don't want to burn out before you start school. Plus, if you did get ahead then the first few weeks would be extremely boring.

Well, the first month or two will be review depending on what you learned in highschool so it'll probably be boring anyways :\

Get ahead in ONE course so you dont bore yourself to death. Chem is usually the best for this, albeit, a tad boorrring, or math, if you're crappy at that. Texts don't even really matter, just look up your course, find a course outline, and study the topics outlined there, its really easy to find all this.
