my info

Michael McGregor

London, Ontario. Canada.

age 28

Currently working as a Street outreach worker (mostly needle exchange and that sort of thing) out of a homeless shelter called the 'Unity Project for Relief of Homelessness in London ON. for the London Community Addictions REsponse program (London CAReS)

Graduated from the 2 yr Photojournalism program at Loyalist College in Belleville Ontatio

I have a bit of a background in social activism (Homelessness, Anti-Globalisation, Anti-War) and with Indymedia. These influences might be something to watch for in my contributions, please call me on it if you see it!!!

I'm an army brat.

Also, My spelling is terrible, another thing to watch for.

One reason I have become interested with Wikipedia is the NPOV aspect, which is something that just isn't present with IMCs

Another interest I have outside of activism is Cycling, esp. Trials.

My interests in editing on wikipedia are mostly around military history articles, but I'm starting to look at articles around drugs and drug laws too.
