Special Note from the Editor
I want to take this opportunity to thank the folks at MT&L Public Affairs for the dynamic re-design of "CPRS-NS News." This service is greatly appreciated as it is our hope that this new design will better engage our members with the important content of the newsletter.
As you scroll through this monthly newsletter, you will find various articles with links to our website. I would encourage you to read further, as well as to visit our website at www.cprsns.com on a regular basis for further details on events and CPRS news.
Please join me in welcoming MT&L Public Affairs, the newest CPRS-NS sponsor. For more information on their services, visit www.mctl.ca .
Sincere Regards,
