Do you know a young person who might be interested in attending the Youth Forum of the Council of the Federation's meeting this summer? It's a marvelous opportunity to meet other young people who are interested in public affairs and federalism and to rub shoulders with participants at an important national event which will take place at Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, in late July. On behalf of the Council of the Federation, IPAC is coordinating an essay-writing contest for students aged 19-22. Two winners from each province and territory will be selected to represent Canada's youth. For more details on the contest (which ends May 15th) and to access the on-line application form, please go to http://www.ipac.ca/awards/cf_youth_forum_2004.html.

Just a quick note to let everyone know that we are offering a 10 day workshop for non-business students (that have recently graduated or are about to graduate) in the Fundamentals of Business. The workshop will offer participants an "EDGE" in the job market, rounding out the education they have received in their undergraduate degree. An example of some of the focus areas are Accounting for the Non-Accountant, Essentials of Finance, Marketing, Strategic Management, Career Management etc... Our hope is to prepare undergrads for the business environment that they will be working in, therefore making them more attractive to potential employers. The workshop begins April 26th and continues until May 7th, with no weekend classes. The cost for the 10 day workshop, which includes catered lunches, refreshments, workshop materials and a certificate of completion from the Centre for Executive Education at the University of Windsor is $2000 + GST. An early registration discount of $200 is also offered. For more information on the workshop go to www.uwindsor.ca/theedge
