It was not possible to hold the Annual CGS Awards Banquet in-person this year, but there was a CGS Awards Presentation held September 16 during GeoVirtual 2020, with many awards and honours presented, recognizing the achievements and excellence of our members. This year’s winners will be recognized in-person at GeoNiagara 2021, along with the 2021 winners. Congratulations to all!
