The Globe and Mail news article, "Ontario unveils more red tape with its 'Byzantine beer-selling regime'", cites the research of MPS Director, Anindya Sen. Published yesterday, the article argues that the provincial government's so-called "revolutionary" changes to allow alcohol sales in grocery stores falls grossly short at meeting a "golden opportunity".   

​With over 100 alumni and current students in attendance, the MPS Fall Mixer was an excellent opportunity for current students to engage with others in the MPS community and learn more about what is in store for them after their academic terms. The annual event took place at the University of Toronto’s Hart House, where students and alumni networked and enjoyed a fun evening among friends, both new and old.  

On Friday, May 29th, the MPS community gathered in Toronto for the program’s Spring Mixer event at the Bier Markt. Students and alumni, spanning five different cohorts, had the opportunity to reconnect over drinks and delicious food.

The evening was also a farewell celebration for Daniel Henstra who is wrapping up his final term as Program Director, after five years with MPS. His dedication, hard work, and leadership was recognized throughout the evening and more formally in speeches from MPS Program Officer, Sheila McConnell, and incoming MPS Director, Anindya Sen.  

Amad Abdullah has embarked on a new adventure since graduating from the MPS program in 2014. When completing his co-op work term at the Ministry of Education in Toronto, he was inspired by one of the largest start-up hubs next door. He also noticed the large impact that support and fitness advice from colleagues played on his boss’ motivation to work out and shed pounds.
