We would like to invite you to join us for a virtual Celebration of Canadian Geoscience! This event will take place over several days from May 10-22, 2021, and will showcase present and past medalists, our Sections, Divisions, and partner organizations. We will celebrate the Canadian Geoscience community at a time when we cannot yet gather together at our traditional events. All members are invited to attend as many of the talks as they wish at no cost!
All events will be scheduled between 2:30 to 4:30 pm ET, will be approximately an hour long, and will be hosted on Zoom. Zoom details for all events will be sent out to members during the first week of May.
