Greetings and Best Wishes for a Healthy and Productive 2011 from Athens!

The Canadian Institute in Greece started the “academic year” in September, 2010 with the launch of its totally revised and expanded website, www.cig-icg.gr , which I encourage you to check out, if you haven’t already. It presents our many activities and highlights the archaeological fieldwork of our permit holders – present and past. You can also read the latest issue of the Institute’s Bulletin. In short, our website should provide you with everything you want to know about CIG, but were too shy to ask.

To bring more attention to our upcoming lectures, the program for our Friends of the Institute, news concerning CIG and future plans we have started this month our own blog to reach out into the blogosphere. On a regular basis I, or the Institute’s Assistant Director, Jonathan Tomlinson, will bring you up to date on what we are doing.

One important tidbit of news that I would like to share with you is the arrival on Sunday of April Ross, our new intern from the University of Waterloo. She will be assisting us for three months in the Library.

In closing, we appreciate your interest in our Institute and in our work. Please let us know your thoughts about the Institute and its website, our Facebook page and this blog.

Cordially,
David Rupp
Director
