As 2017 is the 150th anniversary of Canada, as well as the 70th anniversary of the Canadian Geotechnical Society, the CGS would like to compile a larger list of Canadian Geotechnical Achievements to announce at GeoOttawa 2017. We are asking CGS Sections, Technical Divisions, Standing Committees and/or individual CGS members to think about what they consider to be prominent Canadian Geotechnical Achievements, from any period of Canadian or pre-Canadian history.
Please submit any and all suggestions (as many as you would like) to Lisa McJunkin at the CGS National Office admin@cgs.ca by March 1, 2017. Each submission should be limited to one page (plus a photograph), and include:
In addition to the one-page submission, please provide a definitive reference (if possible), and a photograph of the project (that can and may be reproduced).
A CGS committee will be formed in the spring of 2017 to review the submissions and to select the projects to be showcased during GeoOttawa 2017.
