    Ha! I saw what you did there --- you made it up! That school is actually London SOUTH Bank University.

    If we're going to make up schools, how about this, a school for aspiring thriller-writers:
    "The International School of Mystery" (Chancellor, Dr. Austin Powers)

    (Shagadelic! Oh, behave!) :)

    The town of Swastika, in Northern Ontario mining and forestry country, was named after the ancient symbol at its founding in 1908.

    During World War II the Ontario government replaced the town sign in an attempt to rename the town Winston. In a prototypical Northern Ontario moment, locals replaced that with a new sign reading Swastika – now with an inscription taunting Hitler that they had the name first.

    Swastika is the name of the community today, now merged into the town of Kirkland Lake. Swastika was home to Swastika Public School.
