Fall 2020 Virtual CAPA Conference Proposal --

Since the announcement of the postponement of the 48th Annual Meeting originally planned for Hamilton, Ontario in Fall 2020, we have been exploring options for holding a virtual meeting. Many CAPA-ACAP members look forward to the opportunity to share new research with colleagues and build their networks through both the scientific and social programs. Members have brought forward ideas for online symposia, the student luncheon, and reception events.

With these thoughts in mind, we are creating an organising committee to explore the possibility of hosting a Virtual CAPA-ACAP event this Fall. Interested members can contact us at the emails below to be part of the organising committee. We will keep the membership posted on our progress, both on the website and through social media.

With kind regards,
Laure Spake [laure_spake@sfu.ca], CAPA-ACAP Student Representative, and PhD Candidate, Department of Archaeology, Simon Fraser University

Tracey Galloway [tracey.galloway@utoronto.ca], CAPA-ACAP Sustainability Subcommittee Member, and Assistant Professor, Department of Anthropology, University of Toronto Mississauga

Following consultation with the Local Organizing Committee for the 2020 CAPA-ACAP Annual Meeting that is scheduled to be hosted by McMaster U., we have reluctantly decided that the best course of action is to postpone the 2020 Annual Meeting. For further information, please see this link

Contributions for the Spring 2020 CAPA-ACAP Newsletter are welcomed and due by May 15, 2020. Anyone interested in submitting photos, student profiles, exciting news, and more are asked to submit materials to Madeleine Mant at maddy.mant@utoronto.ca
