I am pleased to invite all current CANSI members to attend the 2025-2026 annual general meeting, to be held on Wednesday, December 2, 2026, at 7:00 pm Eastern Standard Time (EST), by video conference call. (See below for details.)

During the AGM you will hear about the many facets of the last CANSI season from your national board members and directors, as well as from the chair of CANSI’s technical committee. This is also your opportunity to help shape the association by electing members of the board, sharing your ideas, and getting involved.

We encourage all members who have not yet renewed their 2026-2027 membership to do so before December 2, 2026, to be able to participate in the AGM.

I look forward to seeing many of you at the meeting!

Denys Lawrence, CANSI President
