The start of a new school year can feel hectic, as parents juggle their kids’ classes, extracurriculars and sports on top of work, appointments, and other responsibilities. It’s easy for things to slip through the cracks, but Skylight’s shared smart calendars can help keep everyone on track, and from August 2nd through August 9th they’re up to $90 off.
The sale includes the 10-inch Skylight Calendar for $119.99 ($50 off), the 15-inch Skylight Calendar 2 for $259.99 ($20 off), and the 27-inch Skylight Calendar Max for $479.99 ($90 off). The 10-inch model takes up the least amount of space, though the newer, larger 15-inch Calendar 2 features faster performance, a brighter display, and swappable magnetic frames. The 27-inch Calendar Max, meanwhile, offers the sharpest and largest screen and must be mounted to the wall (the other models can stand on a table or be mounted), making it the easiest option for large families to view from across the room.
Regardless of which model you choose, every Skylight Calendar includes the same set of organizational features. Each member of your household can have their own color-coded profile, and each can sync events from Google, Outlook, Apple, Cozi, or Yahoo calendars. You can also create shared lists for groceries, chores, and other to-dos that everyone can access from the calendar or the companion mobile app, and even send your grocery list to Instacart with a couple of taps. Built-in weather forecasts also can help you plan around upcoming events, and you can also share calendar access with family members and trusted contacts.
You get even more perks if you subscribe to the $79 per year Plus Plan (the first month of the service is free to try). Skylight uses AI to automatically turn emails, photos, flyers, and spreadsheets into calendar entries. It also adds meal planning, tools for assigning and rewarding completed chores, and a mode that displays your photos like a digital picture frame.

<p>Nigeria’s federal government employees are set to experience a delay in the payment of their May 2023 salaries, according to information obtained by The PUNCH.

</p><p>
<a href="https://www.oxfordeconomics.com/global-cities-index/#top-cities" target="_blank">Oxford Economics recently released its 2025 Global Cities Index</a><em><a href="https://www.oxfordeconomics.com/global-cities-index/#top-cities">Global Cities Index</a></em>, which measures the world's 1,000 largest urban economies across five major categories: economics, human capital, quality of life, environment, and governance.
</p><p> While New York, London, and Paris took the top three spots overall, Montreal came in at 43rd place — behind cities like Denver, Amsterdam, Berlin, and Dallas. Toronto, by contrast, landed at a strong 20th overall, making it the highest-ranked Canadian city on the list.
</p><p>Montreal's best scores came in governance and quality of life, thanks in part to its long life expectancy — "among the highest in North America," according to <a href="https://www.oxfordeconomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/OEGCI2025.pdf" target="_blank">the report</a>. Oxford Economics credits this to the city's "excellent healthcare system, which includes the McGill University Health Centre," plus its vibrant mix of festivals and cultural spots.</p><p>When it comes to talent, Montreal also holds its own. The city's "strong Human Capital score is driven by its globally ranked universities and several corporate headquarters,” like McGill, Air Canada, and CN. It's also "a hub for AI research and video game development, attracting a highly skilled workforce from around the world."</p><p>But not everything is rosy. Montreal scored just 68.0 in the economics category — lower than Toronto (76.7) and well behind New York (100). One reason? "Incomes in Montreal are among the lowest of cities in North America," the report says. And even though <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/tag/montreal-rent" target="_blank">rent is cheaper than in cities like Toronto or Vancouver</a>, "residents still spend more of their income on housing than in the vast majority of our 1,000 cities."</p><p>Believe it or not, Montreal's worst score was for the environment. The city struggles with "emissions intensity" linked to its transport sector, and faces "inconsistent temperatures with significant volatility," which are expected to worsen with climate change.</p><p>Still, the city managed to outrank fellow Canadian spots like Calgary (61st) and Ottawa-Gatineau (88th), while Vancouver just edged ahead in 37th place thanks to higher scores in environmental sustainability and governance.
