also decided to postpone all of our upcoming events indefinitely. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The distribution of TRIUMF-wide communication to grads and postdocs has frequently been problematic. If you might have missed the latest Director’s Office emails, we encourage you to
check this link for the latest updates: </span><a href="https://www.triumf.ca/node/34431"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">https://www.triumf.ca/node/34431</span></a><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.

they’re employees) have access to counselling with Homewood Health, our Employee Assistance Provider (EAP).
