On March 10-11, the School of Land Use and Environmental Change (SLUEC) hosted the 64th Annual Meeting of the Western Division of the Canadian Association of Geographers (WDCAG). The theme of the meeting was Planning for Resilience and Climate Change and it was a great way to promote all of our programs, especially the new Bachelor of Regional and Community Planning degree.<\/p>\n
This was the first post-COVID, in-person WDCAG conference and it was a resounding success! We had 173 attendees (133 students, 40 faculty) with over 50 presentations and over 30 posters. The following schools were involved in the conference:<\/p>\n
Okanagan College
\nRoyal Roads University
\nSimon Fraser University
\nThompson Rivers University
\nTrinity Western University
\nUniversity of British Columbia\/Okanagan
\nUniversity of Calgary
\nUniversity of Lethbridge
\nUniversity of Northern BC
\nUniversity of the Fraser Valley
\nUniversity of Victoria
\nVancouver Island University
\nWestern Washington University<\/p>\n
It was fantastic to reconnect, collaborate, discuss ideas, and to share memories and laughs together. SLUEC\u2019s work — along with Claire Hay from TLC and Emil Fernandes from Conference Services — really helped to revitalize and regain momentum in the WDCAG.<\/p>\n
