in a technical writing program at a local college and is
now trying to find out what type of work is out there.
Could someone tell me if there are technical writers
being employed in the environmental or health
fields>>

Gail, one thing that would be well worth his while is to
check the local universities and colleges to see if they
have a "department of technology transfer". (Jargon: it
means taking basic science and putting it into the hands of
people who can put it to work.) Many universities are
forming liaisons with industry and need expert
communicators. Big research hospitals often have comparable
departments, as do pharmaceutical firms. And since you're
in the Toronto area, there should be no shortage of
environmental consulting firms who need good writers.
