Note to staff and faculty members: Please be reminded that the storage of SFU email messages in external email servers hosted outside of Canada is a potential violation of BC FIPPA. We strongly recommend that you consult with IT Services or your department's technical support staff before forwarding your mail to non-SFU services.
