The Toronto Affair
In 1999, the British citizen Dr. David Healy had been actively recruited for a position in the Department of Psychiatry and the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto. He was brought in for a three-day visit to CAMH and the Department in July. Following his visit, Dr. Paul Garfinkel, Chair of the University's Department of Psychiatry, wrote him a congratulatory letter.
On January 28, 2000 Dr. Sidney Kennedy, Professor or Psychiatry and Head, Mood & Anxiety Division, CAMH, wrote to Healy discussing details of an offer to be appointed a Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto and Clinical Director for the Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program at CAMH. Kennedy concluded: "I am extremely enthusiastic about your interest in this position and I believe that you will bring an important line of critical inquiry and clinical research acumen to this department".
On August 17, 2000 Dr. David Goldbloom, Physician-in-Chief at CAMH and Professor of Psychiatry at University of Toronto, and Georgina Veldhorst, Vice-President, Mental Health Programs, CAMH, wrote to Healy to offer him formally the position of Clinical Director, Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program, CAMH.

Famous quotes containing the word affair:
“Mining today is an affair of mathematics, of finance, of the latest in engineering skill. Cautious men behind polished desks in San Francisco figure out in advance the amount of metal to a cubic yard, the number of yards washed a day, the cost of each operation. They have no need of grubstakes.”
—Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
