The New Year is a time for new beginnings and, with that in mind, the new and improved CGS website was launched last month. Your browser favourite www.cgs.ca is still the url for the CGS site, and design enhancements make it easier to navigate on your tablet and smartphone. The new website retains many of its former features, but many elements have been enhanced and new features added. Many of the modifications and additions arise directly from suggestions made by respondents to the 2015 CGS Membership Survey.
Currently, a few sections of the website are being finalized and some pages (with revised or new text) still need to be translated into French, but most of it is up and running. The 2017 Executive Committee is considering additional features in the future so look for more improvements throughout the year.
The new HOME page, in addition to having a modern look, provides direct links to upcoming CGS conferences, the latest CGS news, and a listing of upcoming CGS events. The home page also features our CGS Corporate Sponsors and includes a map that provides direct links to the 20 CGS Sections.
The website will be changing frequently so, if you have not done so already, be sure to bookmark www.cgs.ca and come back often. Look for more new website details in upcoming issues of CGS-Geotechnical Info Net.
If you have any comments, suggestions or corrections, contact the Webmaster, Wayne Gibson, at cgs@cgs.ca.
