摘要

Louis Barsony Anxiously Waited By the door as several hundred unemployed high-tech workers filed into one of Ottawa's west-side auditoriums a few weeks ago. "I've been planning this event for so long," said the network systems engineer to a colleague. Barsony, who was laid off from Nortel more than two years ago, now volunteers his time at the Ottawa Talent Initiative (OTI), a networking group comprised of local IT workers who still feel the brunt of the now-infamous high-tech meltdown.
