    <?color><?param ffff,0000,0000>Is this genuinely checked by McAfee?

    I recently received a worm virus via an attachment from a very trusted
    source that had the wording attachment checked by McAfee.

    Please advise us if this really is safe because I do not open attachments

    <?bigger><?bigger>Comox First Nation Shellfish Training Initiative.

    <?/bigger><?/bigger><?color><?param 0000,8080,8080>IEC INTERNATIONAL is
    pleased to be able to use its "What's New" service to announce the launch of
    the Comox First Nation Shellfish Training Initiative.

    <?/color>Chief Ernie Hardy of the Comox First Nation is pleased to announce
    the launch of a Shellfish Training Initiative being funded in part by the
    North Vancouver Island Training Society.

    The overall goal of the initiative, according to Chief Ernie Hardy - "is to
    create sustainable employment and build the capacity of our people to enable
    them to manage the shellfish resources within our traditional territories.
    These resources support and represent our culture, way of life, identity and
    the future of the Comox membership".

    The intent of this training program is to achieve a basic level of
    understanding within the Comox Nation that will enable Comox members to
    develop the overall capacity to encourage the development of environmentally
    sustainable, commercial shellfish industry.

    The Comox First Nation is pleased to announce that IEC INTERNATIONAL
    Collaborative Marine Research and Development Ltd., one of Canada's foremost
    shellfish development companies has been retained to specifically develop
    and present this training course.

    An intensive 3-month multi disciplinary training program has been devised
    and will be comprised of the following components:

    · History of Shellfish - with a special emphasis on First Nations
    · Basic Shellfish Biology
    · History of Shellfish Fisheries and Aquaculture
    · Basic Intertidal Shellfish Culture Technologies
    · Basic Subtidal Shellfish Culture Technologies
    · Advanced Shellfish Culture
    · Environmental Monitoring
    o Fecal contamination
    o Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning
    · Opportunities in Commercial Shellfish Fisheries
    o Current utilization by other First Nations
    o Aboriginal Clam Licenses
    o Pilot Beach opportunities
    o Federal Government role
    o Provincial Government role
    o Strategic alliances with processors
    o DFO Survey Training
    · Opportunities in Aquaculture
    o Hatchery/nursery/algae production
    o Current programs by First Nations
    o Federal Government role
    o Provincial Government role
    o Regional District role
    o Shellfish Tenures
    o Shellfish Development Plans
    o Standing Crop Inventory
    o Site Appraisal and Capability
    · Strategic Planning and Successful Implementation
    o Business planning
    o Governance

    This training initiative will bring together an unprecedented collection of
    experts in all aspects of shellfish fishery and aquaculture. The list of
    tentative presenters collectively has over 400 years experience in the
    field. Many have international experience.

    It is expected, upon the completion of the training program that up to 40
    members of the Comox Nation will be trained in sustainable shellfish
    culture. The program has been separated into 9 distinct components. As some
    students may consider each a stand-alone, it is the intent to issue
    certificates of completion for each component and a Course Certificate for
    those who complete the entire program.
