CEO CORNER:
Greetings from Mark Mendelson
Dear Friends,
We may be in the thick of winter across Canada, but our boards and staff have been working diligently on creating programming and events that will warm your heart. From an upcoming Webinar Wednesdays (February 23) event featuring a fish that can drive, to the second session of our Literary Series 2.0 (February 13), to regional, in-person events being planned in Vancouver, Winnipeg, Montreal and Toronto, we are off to a fantastic start.
COVID-19 restrictions are starting to lift across Canada and I couldn't be happier. We are hopeful that this will mean an easing of travel restrictions so that we can gather in person once again.
You can learn more in the video above and in the content below about what we, at Canadian Associates of Ben-Gurion University are up to these days.
Wishing you a wonderful February!
Mark Mendelson
CEO, BGU Canada
