La conférence
GéoQuébec 2015
, qui
s’est tenue à Québec en septembre
dernier, a été une réussite. Plus de 800
délégués ont participé à la Conférence.
380 présentations orales et 28 posters
ont été présentés en plus des con-
férences de nos invités.
Le banquet et la croisière sur le fleuve
St-Laurent ont été particulièrement
appréciés. Ces activités ont permis aux
délégués de passer de bons moments
en compagnie de collègues et de faire
de nouvelles rencontres dans un envi-
ronnement décontracté.
La conférence s’est terminée par les
visites techniques dans la région de
Québec et de Charlevoix. En plus
du volet technique, ces activités ont
permis aux participants de visiter

City last September, was a success.
More than 800 delegates participated
to the conference. In addition to our
guest speakers, 380 oral presentations
and 28 posters were presented.
The Awards Gala Banquet and the

time chatting with colleagues and to
meet new people in a relaxed environ-
ment.
The conference ended with techni-

Finally, we would like to thank you

Heritage Committee
History of Local Chapters of the
Canadian Geotechnical Society
The Heritage Committee believes that
the history of the local chapters of the
Canadian Geotechnical Society to be
valuable part of the Society and its
members. The CGS Heritage Com-
mittee would like to assemble if at
all possible, a collection of historical
summaries of all the chapters. Hope-
fully these stories will encourage other
local chapters of the CGS to gather
their archives and write their own
history.
If you have any questions or have
other historical information that you
wish to share or know of any opportu-
nities to acquire material that is at risk
of being lost, please contact the Chair
