[Sust-mar] 2 Sierra Club Employment Opportunities

Fri Apr 3 14:14:17 EDT 2009

Moderator's note:

Below are 2 employment opportunities from the Sierra Club of Canada, as 
submitted by
p2 at planetfriendly dot net (GoodWorkCanada ) .

In this case, because of a long queue of messages I have taken the rare 
step of combining messages. I wont do this regularly, but if any 
sust-mar members are submitting more than one message at a time, 
especially messages with similar themes or from the same organization, 
it would greatly speed up the distribution of information and shorten 
the queue if the messages could be combined at source by the persons 
submitting them. That is to say, everything will get sent out a lot 
faster if you submit all information in one message instead of two or 
three separate ones. As always, local (Maritime) events, announcements 
and news are prioritized, as are messages by those who have yet to 
contribute a message in any given month.

Also, please submit early! There is usually a queue. If your event 
happens on the same day you submit the announcement, your message 
probably wont get sent out in time. At least one week in advance is 
recommended, preferably two weeks if possible.

Thanks! Peter (your faithful co-moderator)
