The rural rotation in Northern Communities, known as the Northern Track, celebrated 15 years of official existence last year. Before its formal recognition, McGill psychiatry residents had requested opportunities to gain experience working with Indigenous communities, helping pave the way for the establishment of the rotation. This rotation is quite unique in Canada and has attracted residents to apply to McGill residency program. Dr. Lucie Nadeau has been developing and directing the rotation since its inception, in collaboration with the residency program directors.

Warning that global warming is set to surpass the 1.5C threshold set in the Paris climate agreement within the next few years, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), in a new report, is urging an “overshoot, peak and decline” strategy to limit the risk of climate disasters like heatwaves, floods and wildfires,  

McGill experts are available to comment:

In the midst of another intense wildfire season, a new study sheds light on the risks they pose to life-sustaining dialysis care for thousands of Canadians.

In a first-of-its-kind interdisciplinary project conducted by McGill researchers from the Departments of Medicine and Geography, the team led a national wildfire risk assessment focused on Canadian dialysis facilities. Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), the team integrated dialysis facility locations with historical wildfire records and current fire danger data to identify communities and patients at greatest risk.

As U.S. tariffs disrupt supply chains, Montreal’s Schwartz’s Deli has replaced its longtime Cott’s Black Cherry Soda with Fleischer’s, a made-in-Quebec alternative.

Saibal Ray, professor at McGill Desautels, explains that aluminum tariffs have affected beverage producers despite primarily targeting larger industries. Since cans can represent up to one-third of soda production costs and may be tariffed multiple times, niche products with narrow margins are particularly vulnerable.

McGill University has mandated Enixum to carry out Project 26-017, which involves the modernization of classrooms 620 and 625 on the 6th floor of the Bronfman Building, home to the McGill Executive Institute.

The project will upgrade the electrical infrastructure of both classrooms, adding new power outlets and data conduits to support new audiovisual equipment and a new instructor podium. Once complete, the classrooms will offer executive education participants and faculty a more connected, better-equipped learning environment.

The Department of Bioengineering is proud to announce that the McGill BioDesign team were on the podium for all categories in the 2026 SensUs competition!

As food companies move away from artificial dyes, some are eliminating colour altogether rather than using costly, less stable natural alternatives.

Yu Ma, professor of marketing at McGill Desautels, says this shift may appeal to health-conscious consumers who associate colourless products with purity, authenticity and natural ingredients.

Shein’s latest Montreal pop-up has drawn less interest than its 2023 edition, potentially reflecting growing consumer discomfort with the brand’s environmental and labour record.

Carl Boutet, lecturer at the Bensadoun School of Retail Management, describes this tension as the “Shein paradox,” with shoppers continuing to buy low-cost clothing despite concerns surrounding the company. Boutet notes that consumers may now be more aware of the ecological consequences of Shein’s ultra-fast-fashion model.

On Sept.1, the first Canadian participant will begin the World Health Organization's Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) program, marking the start of the initiative's rollout in Quebec.
