As many of you know from our announcement in early April, we rescheduled the Quebec Reclaim, Restore, Rewild (RE3) conference to June 19 – 24, 2021. We are disappointed to announce today that SWS will withdraw as a host of the rescheduled event due to prior conference commitments for 2021. SER and CLRA are pleased to continue their partnership with Université Laval to host this conference, which will now also serve both as SER’s 9th World Conference on Ecological Restoration (SER2021) and the 2021 CLRA National Conference & General Meeting. All three societies look forward to partnering again in the future, and we deeply hope that members from all the societies will still participate in this event as peatlands are such an important wetland component of Canada’s landscape.

You will already notice that one more day is being added to the event as we are preparing a bigger conference. Details to come, thank you for being patient.
Read MoreOut of concern for the health and safety of all CLRA members and in respect of the current COVID-19 recommendations issued by the Government of Canada, the National Board of Directors has voted to cancel all face to face CLRA events until further notice. This will include all meetings, workshops, conferences, Lunch and Learns, and other networking events being organized by the Chapters within our organization.
