Eco-Journal, v.17.1, January/February 2007
By Anne Lindsey
At the time of writing, we´re doing last minute preparations for our Eco-Evening at the Park Theatre. Look for a write up on the event, along with a list of all the fantastic donors of cool prizes, in the next Eco-Journal. We´d like to congratulate EcoNetwork member, Camille Guenette, who was the winner of the Annual Appeal draw for a basket of local foodstuffs from Fresh Option Organic Delivery. Hope you enjoyed your goodies, Camille! Thanks once again to all the generous Appeal donors.
In staffing news, Climate Change Connection welcomes Curt Hull to its Project Management team (he joins Susan Lindsay). Curt comes to us from the private sector. He is an electrical engineer by training, and has worked for many years with Winnipeg-based Vansco Electronics. He brings a passion for climate change education and action, as well as a strong background in project and financial management and planning, and a history of community volunteer work. As a member of the Alpine Club of Canada, Curt is a climber, and an avid practitioner of self-propelled transportation. Curt will be based out of the University of Winnipeg office of Climate Change Connection. He can be reached by phone there at 786-9963. Susan will be in our EcoCentre office at 943-4836.
We also want to welcome Natalie Asselin to the position of part time resource assistant in the Alice Chambers Memorial Library. Natalie is a researcher by profession, and works with a marine mammal scientist from Fisheries and Oceans on really interesting projects in Canada´s arctic and Hudson´s Bay. Having caught up with routine library chores, Natalie wants folks to know she is willing and able to assist them with tracking down materials for their environmental work. You can catch Natalie in the Library on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, or email her at library@mbeconetwork.org
