Canadian Foundation for
Geotechnique Funding
Initiatives – Present and Future
The Canadian Foundation for Geo-
technique provides funding for
numerous activities that are intended
to benefit the Canadian Geotechnical
Society and its members. Through the
generous donations of CGS members,
the geotechnical consulting industry,
local chapters and CGS Divisions,
and the prudent management of these
funds by past and current members
of the Foundation, the Foundation is
coming into a position where it antici-
pates an ability to fund new initiatives
as well as increase funding for some
existing awards and prizes.
Current Awards
The largest funding commitment
of the Foundation is the two Cross
Canada Lecture tours each year, which
are funded entirely by sponsorship
from geotechnical businesses. The
total annual budget for these two tours
is $20,000.
