Greetings,

I have just received a request from Irv Rootman [[log in to unmask]] to
post a message from Markus Wilcke <[log in to unmask]> about a health
promoter position in the Canadian Arctic community of Iqaluit. At the same
time, I received another message about a health promoter position opening in
Toronto area [Etobicoke] - making these two interesting contrasts for
consideration.

I am copying both of these positions here, and will post them in the
appropriate section of the weekly Ontario Health Promotion Email Bulletin
[http://www.opc.on.ca/ohpe/ohpeflyr.htm] tomorrow.  I hope these notices
attract a good response.  But please do NOT "reply" to this message with
your interest or questions!  We have been experiencing too many hasty uses
of the "reply" function in this list.  Dennis Raphael's copy of a commentary
of the proliferation of personal replies in list-servs is a gentle reminder
to all of us to watch the address line before you send your email messages.
