Tritare News Conference - Noon, Friday, November 10th

Monday, October 30th, 2006

 

Tritare

 

At noon on Friday, November 10th, Moncton will host the launch of a new
firm that has created an extraordinary product. The Tritare is the only
musical instrument ever to have been invented in Canada, and even before
it has been produced commercially, a Tritare prototype will find its way
to the Canadian Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa. Trifidus
Inc., a Moncton-based company, has developed an instrument with a
fascinating and unique sound that we will hear much more in coming
months and years. Hear it first at the press conference!

Trifidus CEO Samuel Gaudet, and co-founder and co-designer Claude
Gauthier will be on hand to drive the launch and guitarist Stephen
LeBlanc of the group Tracy Starr, will play the Tritare. See details
below for more information related to when and where.

Centre for Conflict Resolution Studies Chooses Moncton

Sunday, October 15th, 2006

UPEI Conflict Resolution
The Centre for Conflict Resolution Studies at the University of Prince Edward Island is pleased to announce that it has selected Moncton as the permanent site for its expansion into other provinces.  The Centre offers the only Certificate in Conflict Resolution Studies in Atlantic Canada based on an exceptionally comprehensive program of 40 course options.  Over the past eight years, the UPEI Centre has provided training to more than 3500 participants with many of them traveling from other provinces.  To accommodate the growing demand for our conflict resolution training and services, the Centre recently decided to expand its program through a satellite site and Moncton was selected due to its centrality and wealth of services, facilities and resources.

Beginning in September, a full slate of courses will be offered including interest-based mediation, negotiation, facilitation and a range of other specialized courses related to conflict resolution in the workplace, family and community as well as civil and criminal matters. The Centre expects to draw hundreds of people from across NB and parts of NS. These courses are of particular interest to business and government managers, lawyers, human resource professionals, union and labor representatives, social workers, educators, clergy and others seeking to learn the theories and skills of interest-based conflict resolution. For further information about our program, please visit our website at www.upei.ca/conflictstudies , call our office at 902-566-0336, or contact our Moncton representative, Wendy Keats, at 506-872-4894.
