Metropolis Comings and Goings
Project Team
Héléne Bertrand has left the Metropolis Project Team to pursue other opportunities. Her good humoured efficiency, despite our ludicrous timeframes, will be missed by everyone in the Metropolis network who has worked with her.
Steve Morris and Natalie Ethier have joined the Project Team. They bring a wealth of experience and will greatly enrich the team.
Emmanuelle Lebeau and Ayesha Rekhi have rejoined the Team for a few months before they take up their formal postings with the Foreign Service. Ayesha is headed to Hong Kong and Emmanuelle to Guatamala.
Centres
Dr. Derek Hum (Economics, University of Manitoba) has accepted an invitation to visit and lecture at the University of Western Sydney in Australia from July-August 2000. Dr. Hum's visit is related to his collaborative work with Dr. Anis Choudhury (University of Western Sydney) comparing immigrants in Canada and Australia.
