CGS’s 101st Cross Country Lecture Tour this past spring featuring Dr. Tom O’Rourke was a great success in the 10 cities he was able to visit. Dr. O’Rourke’s spring 2018 Montreal lecture, Lessons Learned for Ground Movements and Soil Stabilization from The Boston Central Artery, was offered as a live broadcast and was also recorded and is now available in the MyCGS section of the CGS website at www.cgs.ca/members.
