2020 Annual Conference is postponed

28 Mar 2020 4:18 PM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

Dear friends and members of the SWCC:

In light of current events, the Science Writers and Communicators of Canada board of directors has made the decision to postpone the 2020 conference to spring 2021.

The board did not take this decision lightly. The best scientific evidence available from Canada’s public health officials advises the current wave of COVID-19 will not subside in Canada until the middle of the summer. In the interest of protecting the health and well-being of our members, friends of the organization, and the front-line workers across Canada, the SWCC are postponing our annual conference.

The 2021 conference will still be held in Ottawa. We are working hard to announce the dates and location soon. 

The interim period will be an uncertain time for the SWCC. The annual conference represents a primary source of income for the organization and is the organization’s main event for professional development and networking among our members. In the coming weeks, the SWCC will be reaching out to members to support us through this time, and to tell them more about how we will be giving back to them, through a new professional development series to supplement professional development and networking in the absence of an annual conference.

Terry Lavender, President

Rhonda Moore, 2020-21 SWCC Conference Chair
