Now I'm getting a blank page for Greenestone's Mental Health and Addictions Advisory Board @
http://greenestoneclinic.com/aboutus_ab.html, but, apropos of nothing, I nominate Dr. Luke Fazio as the original CBC source.
Did you previously get something other than a blank? The Internet Wayback Machine has 9 captures of that page. In May, 2011, there were three entries, but a month later only one remained (Garfinkle) and a new listing appeared for Janice Harris, who never had any bio other than "Coming soon." In Oct 2012, all entries disappeared. The last capture was May 16 a year ago, blank as it appears today.
May 2011:

Paul Garfinkel is a nationally and internationally renowned psychiatrist, researcher, academic leader, hospital administrator, humanitarian and advocate who has given back to the community for more than 30 years. He was President and Psychiatrist-in-Chief of the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry, and Chair of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto from 1990-2000 (where he still teaches today). As a researcher, most of his more than 150 peer-reviewed scientific papers related to eating disorders; his work in the 1970's and 80's made Toronto one of the world leaders in this field.
As the founding President and CEO of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in 1998, Dr. Garfinkel oversaw, led, and inspired the creation of Canada's largest academic health sciences centre devoted to mental illness and addictions-one of the leading such institutions in the world. As CAMH's recently retired leader, he broadened the traditional role of the hospital into a centre that influences public policy, challenges social attitudes and stigma, took a broad view of the determinants of health, and conducted research that transformed the lives of affected individuals. Dr. Garfinkel's vision of physically transforming CAMH from an antiquated, institutionalized campus into an inclusive "urban village" integrating this new kind of hospital with the community has just completed its first award-winning phase.
