CIGR 2020 and AGM update
With the COVID-19 virus being declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, the Canada and Quebec governments have put in place several temporary mesures to limit the propagation including the interdiction to held events of more than 250 people and Canada's border closing for most foreign nationals.
As the situation is evolving very quickly and unpredictably, the Local Organizing Committee has decided to cancel the event from June 14 to 18, 2020. The committee is evaluating various options, including the option of postponing the event to a later date. An official announcement will be made by March 31. Until then, we are suspending online registration. Visit our website www.cigr2020.ca and Facebook to stay informed.

Message from President Joy Agnew
This president’s message was supposed to focus on promoting the joint CIGR/CSBE conference and CSBE annual general meeting that has been diligently planned for well over a year by the local organizing committee in Quebec. Instead, I am sharing the news that the conference is cancelled. We hope to reschedule the conference once more information is available from authorities related to restrictions on travel and gatherings. Please monitor the conference website for on-going updates as the local organizing committee evaluates options for a rescheduled event. Thanks to Stephane Godbout, conference chair, and René Morissette for taking on this monumental task. I suspect many CSBE members will be willing to lend a hand if and when needed to pull together a rescheduled event.
