NEWS – Badawy Sha’ath, longtime MUNACA T-Council rep and Negotiations Committee member, has a double life as a reservist in the Canadian Army. While working at McGill, he has served on several military operations, and now has been tasked with Operation PROVISION, helping to settle Syrian refugees. He’ll be in Quebec City until the end of May, putting his fluent Arabic to work as an interpreter. Read more about Operation PROVISION here and here. We wish him all the best in this important work!
