Additional Education in Canada?

I am a High School Graduate, born and raised in Canada, who is looking to go on to College, specifically to study Journalism. I was a slacker in High School and do not have the grades for a post-secondary education. I live in Toronto and was wondering if anyone had any information, any at all, about a program in the city where I could improve my chances to being accepted into a College without going back to High School. I would like to thank the people willing to share this information ahead of time. So thanks.

Update:

Thank you ESLGuruGames. My current age is 20, but I'll be 21 by the time September rolls around. I was also considering the possibility of night school. Thank you very much for your research.

    You don't say your age, but if you are over 21, in some cases, 25 in others... (check with each university) you can apply and be accepted in a mature student program. I know York had one and so did U of T, I would not be surprised if Ryerson does as well. (Indeed as i look they all do... I put them in sources below.

    In the case of UofT (My Mom did this) if your grades are poor or if you didn't finish high school, you may have to take one class (say an English class, or History) and based on the grades you get in that you would be accepted or rejected for mature student status.

    Check directly with each university.
