Paula is retiring!

by Allison Paulusma

The following is being forwarded on behalf of Dr. Dilantha Fernando: --------------------------------------------------------- Dear All, As some may be aware, Paula Parks, a long-time Technician in the Department in Dr. Dilantha Fernando’s lab is retiring. Today, Friday, October 13 is her last working day. Paula began working in the Department of Plant Science 42 years ago, first with the late Dr. Roger Rimmer (for 17 years) and then with Dr. Dilantha Fernando (for the last 25 years)! Paula managed the pathology lab (Fernando Lab) and worked on canola pathology. She was instrumental in working in the canola pathology program that screened thousands of canola and HEAR materials for the UM breeders and co-op testing for the Canola Council of Canada's WCCRRC program for nearly 42 years. Many canola and HEAR cultivars have been registered for growers through her screening for excellent blackleg resistance. Paula also graduated with a BSc from our department, which adds another 3-4 years! On behalf of the Fernando Lab, and all of us in Plant Science, we’d like to thank Paula for her many years of dedication and service to the Department, and the canola industry. Collectively we want to wish Paula all the best on her retirement.
