Article on school supplies in the paper today. This was something that surprised me about Canada. In England you pretty much supplied only your own pens and pencils. There were compasses for tech drawing but you got your own set if you wanted something decent.
Here you have to get scissors, correcting fluid/tape, staplers, folders etc....even the paper the kids write on instead of having exercise books provided.
We even needed to supply tennis balls once. Not for playing tennis. They cut them in half and stick them on the chair legs to reduce the scraping sound of the legs on the floor. Apparently you can now buy them pre-cut.
