My name is Milena and I am contacting you on behalf of the David Suzuki Foundation.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I was hoping to speak with you regarding the foundations newly launched Fellowship Program. At the present time, we are seeking applicants to be considered for one of three fellowships that we have available across the country, (Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal). More specifically, we are seeking graduate students who’s research is focused on climate change and climate change related issues. Our Toronto fellowship is exclusively for Indigenous Students and focuses on Indigenous Knowledge and Climate Change, while our Vancouver and Montreal programs are available to all students. I was hoping to speak with you more about the program, and inquire if there are any students in your faculty that you think might be a good fit for the program.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Below is a short\u00a0description of the program, including relevant links that have more information. In addition, should you have any further inquiries, please feel free to contact me, or my\u00a0colleague Harpreet Johal, (Senior Specialist, Fellowships), at: hjohal@davidsuzuki.org<\/a>, 6047324228 ext. 1283. Please feel free to forward the information along to any candidates that you think might be interested.<\/span><\/p>\n
