We know many of
you are very much looking forward to our Council and Committee meetings planned
for the end of November 2020 in Ottawa. Unfortunately, after our very careful
assessment of the risks related to in-person international events and travel in
this time of COVID-19 pandemic, we have come to the conclusion that it is
impossible for us to ensure the health and safety of our attendees. We hereby
announce that the in-person meetings scheduled to take place in Ottawa later
this year will be transformed to a series of virtual meetings, similarly to the
ones we recently organized with great success.
