In this fall issue of CSR, we are pleased to present two of the winning entries from this year's Student Essay Contest, Does Free Trade Reduce Global Poverty? Congratulations to the winners, Trevor Tombe, Shankar Kamath, and Kristine Squires. (Kristine's article will run in the Winter 2004 issue of CSR.) This was a very competitive contest, with over 120 entries received from across Canada and around the world.

We would like to thank the Lotte & John Hecht Memorial Foundation, whose generous sponsorship enables to distribute the CSR free of charge to students across Canada.
