CGS’s spring 2017 Cross Canada Lecture Tour featuring Dr. Vaughan Griffiths was a great success as he was able to visit 11 cities between April 10 and 24 – thank you Vaughan!
Thanks to the efforts of the St John’s and Western Québec Sections, CGS was also able to offer live webinars of two presentations - Finite Element Stability Analysis on April 17 and Risk Assessment in Geotechnical Engineering on April 20. The live internet seminars were a great success – with the assistance of the sections, we hope to continue to offer online, live CCLT webinars again this fall. We would like to recognize and thank Section Directors, Rajib Dey of the St John’s Section and Yannic Éthier of the Section Ouest du Québec for their tremendous support in arranging the webinars.
Dr. Griffiths’ lecture Risk Assessment in Geotechnical Engineering was taped and will soon be available in the Members Section of the CGS website. Look for more details this September on the schedule for the fall 2017 “Centennial” CCLT tour by Dr. Jean-Marie Konrad of Université Laval.
