The 78th Canadian Geotechnical Conference and 9th Canadian Permafrost Conference was held September 21-24, 2025 in Winnipeg, MB. The Local Organizing Committee, with Kent Bannister leading as Conference Chair, presented a successful conference with 600+ attendees over three days. Thank you to all who attended and participated!
CGS conferences would not be possible without the generous support of sponsors and exhibitors, and this year’s edition was no different – thank you to all for your contributions.
The Winter 2025 issue of Canadian Geotechnique – The CGS Magazine will include a wrap-up of conference events and happenings with a Special Section, but we’ve included some of the conference highlights here. The RM Hardy Keynote Address was presented by Ken Skaftfeld; the 2025 Canadian Geotechnical Colloquium was given by Jennifer Day; and the Graduate Student Presentation was presented by Alexandra Wang.
