              Hi all,
    
    I'm really pleased to be able to announce the launch of the web site    for the new, not-for-profit education centre of which I am a    founding director. I have decided to move on from my position at    Fleming College and be part of this new initiative to create a more    coherent and comprehensive sustainable building education centre,    based in my hometown of Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.
    
    You can see the new web site here: www.endeavourcentre.org
    
    I hope you'll take a moment to check it out and hopefully link to it    from your own web site. I'd be glad to reciprocate if you let me    know.
    
    Those of you who are familiar with the program I started and have    been running at Fleming College for the past seven years (!) will    see a strong resemblance to that program in Endeavour's Sustainable      New Construction program. A similar model is being applied to    our Sustainable Renovation program. To these, we are adding    a new Sustainable Design program as well. All of these are    full-time, intensive programs with lots of hands-on involvement on    the part of the students. Active participation in full-scale    projects will continue to be at the core of our methodology.
    
    To these full-time programs, we're also adding a workshop schedule    full of shorter courses on specific topics. If you're somebody who    teaches workshops and you'd like to do so at Endeavour, please let    us know. We're excited to be able to host lots of you in this part    of the world and help you share what you do (while paying you to do    so!).
    
    Of particular interest to members of GSBN is the fact that Endeavour    will be able to accept students from outside Canada with no    penalties or increased fees. This was not possible at Fleming    College, and we look forward to the wider mix of students who will    be able to join us from around the world.
    
    We've put a lot of work into trying to make the Endeavour web site    informative. We are committed to "open source" sustainable building    and I'm keen to continue building the site and adding more detail    and documentary about what we do. I hope you find it interesting,    and I'm keen to hear your feedback.
    
    I am really excited about this new Endeavour, and hope to include an    awful lot of you in it at some point or another!
    
    Sincerely,
    
    Chris Magwood
