VANCOUVER, Nov. 23 /CNW/ - CanAlaska is pleased to report the appointment of Dr Jules Lajoie as Senior Consulting Geophysicist for the Company.  Dr Lajoie has 35 years experience and was previously geophysicist with Cominco Ltd., TeckCominco Ltd., and Teck Ltd, and was the chief geophysicist with all three, responsible for a staff of geophysicists at offices around the world.
