Thursday Skate/ Food Night !!

[Alan Becke]

Hi Gang;

Hope all is well for you.

Assuming we stop meauring temperature in Kelvin to boost spirits, who would
be interested in a Thursday evening skate/ beer outing (...or just skating
...or just beer) ?

How about a 6:00pm skate on the canal, meeting at Dow's Lake Pavillion
(change area on the main level) and then 7:30 food/ beverages at Mexicali
Rosa's at the Pavillion?

All the best;
Alan

[Julie et Stephen]

Hi Alan,

I'm afraid that I won't be able to make it on Thursday - Valerie has a
hockey game in the East end at 2000. Let me know where everyone is going to
end up, I might be able to join you for the refreshments!

Hi Alan,

The skating/food plan sounds good to me. I haven't been on the canal
yet this year and I have a craving for a Mexi's margarita!

I hope there's a good turn out... it will be nice to catch up with
everyone...

I can't skate, sadly, but I'll meet you guys for drinks afterwards...

Hello everyone. I also won't be able to make it tonight. I'm in a Board meeting until 9ish and then another early morning meeting. Sounds like a lot of fun. Have a good time and hopefully I will see you all sometime soon.

Alan,

You are such a wimp. It's only -70C outside. Just put an extra sweater and
everything should be fine!

I probably won't go for drinks after Valeire's game. I have to prepare for a
meeting that I'm chairing tomorrow morning.

Hi everyone,

I remember that several people were interested in applying to the Foreign
Service... and the new recruitment has just started. If you are interested,
you can find all of the application details under:
http://www.jobs-emplois.gc.ca/menu/home_e.htm (under Post Secondary
Recruitment).

Don't let the "University Recruitment" title put you off... the average age
of people in my class is 30 and almost everyone has a master's or law degree
and many years of work experience.

Cheers,
Catherine
