A note from the Publisher
After thirty seven years BiTech
Publishers Ltd. is closing down on
December 31, 2019. This Decem-
ber issue of Geotechnical News will
be the last. The Canadian Geotech-
nical Society (CGS) will continue
publishing a quarterly magazine
working with Lisa Reny and her
company
Karma Link
.
In 1982 Geotechnical News started
as a type written new sheet to pro-
mote general information and activi-
ties of the CGS. It was separate
from the technical content provided
in the
Canadian Geotechnical Jour-
nal.
The newsletter was converted
to a glossy newsmagazine in 1983 at
the Vancouver PanAm Conference
and started to add technical articles
on any topics related to geotechnical
engineering. Technical articles for
Geotechnical News have not been
peer reviewed. The only require-
ment has been that they were well
written in French or English.
In the years we have seen significant
changes in the publishing industry.
Desktop publishing has completely
changed the production process of
magazines and conference pro-
ceedings are now almost entirely
produced on USB sticks.
We thank the advertisers for their
continuous support and the editors
who solicited the wide range of
articles.
It has been a very interesting and
rewarding experience. We are
pleased we have been able to sup-
port the ongoing success of the
Canadian Geotechnical Society
