The theme of the meeting was <strong>Planning for Resilience and Climate Change<\/strong> and it was a great way to promote all of our programs, especially the new Bachelor of Regional and Community Planning degree.<\/p>\n<p>This was the first post-COVID, in-person WDCAG conference and it was a resounding success! We had <strong>173 attendees<\/strong> (133 students, 40 faculty) with over 50 presentations and over 30 posters. The following schools were involved in the conference:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Okanagan College<\/li>\n<li>Royal Roads University<\/li>\n<li>Simon Fraser University<\/li>\n<li>Thompson Rivers University<\/li>\n<li>Trinity Western University<\/li>\n<li>University of British Columbia \/Okanagan<\/li>\n<li>University of Calgary<\/li>\n<li>University of Lethbridge<\/li>\n<li>University of Northern BC<\/li>\n<li>University of the Fraser Valley<\/li>\n<li>University of Victoria<\/li>\n<li>Vancouver Island University<\/li>\n<li>Western Washington University<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It was fantastic to reconnect, collaborate, discuss ideas, and to share memories and laughs together. SLUEC\u2019s work \u2013 along with Claire Hay from TLC and Emil Fernandes from Conference Services \u2013 really helped to\u00a0<b>revitalize and regain momentum<\/b> in the WDCAG.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-11632 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2023\/03\/Group-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"558\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2023\/03\/Group-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2023\/03\/Group-300x65.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2023\/03\/Group-1024x223.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2023\/03\/Group-768x168.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2023\/03\/Group-1536x335.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2023\/03\/Group-2048x447.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On March 10-11th, 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).
