Hi everyone,
This is an important notice to let you know that the ALS meeting scheduled for Dec. 9 at BCIT downtown campus has been postponed to January 2017 due to the weather forecast for the end of the week, which includes heavy snow fall for Thursday and Friday.
The January 2017 dates are still to be determined. We will keep everyone on these lists posted as soon as new dates are confirmed. So stay tuned and enjoy the snow, if you can!
Cheers,
Rosario Passos

Martin is away today and I am away Fri ., and Mon .
This latest is based on our discussion earlier this week, and on some notes that Gill sent me about things he could talk about on Dec. 9, and on Martin’s amalgamation of the two proposals.
Please have at it – feel free to put in different ‘fictional’ names for the panel. Martin will need your feedback by noon on Monday so that he can finalize and submit by noon on Tuesday .
Thanks for taking care of this Martin -please revise as you like.

Hi there everyone,
If you tried to send a message through the listserv in the last few days, you probably got an email returned message. That is because BCcampus carried out a big email server patch last week and it broke the listservs.
Well, I am happy to let you know that everything is now back in service and the listservs are working, so... go ahead and send your messages.
Cheers,
Rosario Passos
