Canadian law schools: LSAT scores/GPA averages?

I'm interested in a handful of Canadian law schools -- primarily UBC, UofT, Osgoode, Queens, Dalhousie, UOttawa, and UofA. Can any current law students, previous applicants, or knowledgeable hopefuls shed light on LSAT/GPA stats for any of the schools?

EDIT: More specifically, I'm interested in hearing about individual stats, either of those who've made it in or of friends you know who've received acceptance.

    It should be on their websites but off the top of my head, I think to be competitive it would be around this:

    UBC GPA 3.7/165
    UofT: 4.0/166
    Osgoode: Holistic therefore impossible to say but still quite high...
    Dalhousie: 3.7/162 + Holistic
    UOttawa: Holistic --> My friend got in with a 3.3/163
    UofA: 3.7/161

    Fellow Canadian here :)
    UBC's medians are 166 and an 83% average, so 3.75(ish)!
    Generally, UBC uses an index score, so if either your GPA or LSAT is exceptionally high, the other can be pretty subpar and you can still get offered admission.

    Thanks for your replies, and good to hear from some fellow Canadians!

    I suppose I should have been a lot more specific, haha. I have a good understanding of the schools' averages from snooping around on the websites. However, I'm curious to hear individual stats, either of those who've received acceptance or those who know relative stats of friends who've made it in.
