Canadian Society of Plant Biologists

The Canadian Society of Zoologists (CSPB/SCBV) executive council and the Local Organizing Committee regret to announce that the Annual Meeting of the CSPB/SCBV scheduled for June 14-18 in Saskatoon, SK, has been canceled. Although the risks associated with COVID-19 outbreak in Saskatchewan remain low at present, we feel that hosting the meeting under the rapidly evolving situation could pose a significantly greater risk to our membership and community at large. Please note that we reached this decision with a heavy heart and after careful considerations, but we believe our most important priority at this difficult time is to ensure the health and safety of the society members. The cancellation is consistent with many of the restrictions our academic institutions, and provincial and local administrative authorities are placing on travel, hosting and participation in public events.
