We're changing the way we do email!
In the new year, the Green Memo will be renamed the LSC Weekly Update. At the same time, we’ll be moving to MailChimp to deliver it to your inbox. While it will look slightly different, the content will continue to be what you need week to week: Updates, Slists, Announcements, and more.
In order to keep our mailing list up-to-date and in compliance with the law, we need you to let us know you want to continue to receive emails from us, as well as provide a bit more information about yourself.
If you don't receive a Welcome email within 24 hours of updating your profile, check you spam folder or your IT department's spam filters. If you are having issues receiving our new emails, please contact mclark@lsc.on.ca.
