discussions will revolve around contaminant-related themes and will
focus this year on issues related to mercury and its significance to

discuss their results, and co-ordinate future work.

Re: _2011/2012 __NSERC PGS/CGS Competition _
The application process for the Natural Sciences and Engineering
Research Council's Postgraduate Scholarships (PGS) and Canada Graduate
Scholarships (CGS) programs have moved to a fully electronic submission
system for this year’s competition. Students will continue to complete
their applications using NSERC’s online system, but will no longer be
required to print and sign paper copies.
As in the past few competitions, NSERC no longer requires departmental
appraisals. As a result we are no longer requesting that departments
review and rank the applications prior to submission to the Faculty of
Graduate Studies. While a departmental review is not required,
departments are strongly encouraged to assist their students by
reviewing applications, in particular the proposal, and helping students
to submit the best application possible.
Applicants must apply online and submit official transcripts in sealed
envelopes to my attention at 500 University Centre by the Faculty of
Graduate Studies deadline which is *October 11, 2010.*
We will be distributing this information to all graduate students our
weekly award email announcement this Friday, but I would like to ask for
your assistance in distributing our deadline to students in your
department, including fourth year undergraduate students.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or
concerns. Thank you.
