Message from the President
Usually the December issue of CGS
News has the President recounting
what has been done over the past year.
However, this year, I’ve provided my
Annual Report covering July 2014 to
June 2015 in December’s issue of the
CGS-Geotech Info Net (e-News) and

. For
those who don’t have access to email
or the website, or require a hard copy
of that full report, please contact CGS
Headquarters at
or phone

briefly summarizes what the CGS has
done since that report was prepared.
• The CGS held a very successful
68th Annual Conference in Quebec

ence (see article elsewhere in this
