Hello everyone,

My name is Geneviève Grossenbacher and I am the new person replacing
Sarah Mohan as USC Canada's Program officer for public engagement. As
such, I will be the one taking on the lead on our USC's Youth/Food
e-list.



Here's some info I thought I would pass along:

1) Feel free to contact me if you have any ideas on how we can
work together, what you expect from the youth e-list, etc.

2) On the Canadian Policy side of things, you may have already
heard but 2 Bills were passed this week: Bill C-311 (Climate Change)&
Bill C-474 (GE crops) . Although close monitoring of these Bills is
still required, many thanks to all of you who have supported the Bill so
far by sending emails, signing petitions, etc. For more info:



- Bill C-311: Climate Change Accountability Act:
