The CAA Board of Directors is excited to announce a new partnership between the Canadian Archaeological Association and the American Cultural Resources Association (ACRA). Find out more about ACRA here. This partnership allows CAA members to take advantage of ACRA training and professional development opportunities (annual conference, workshops and webinars) at the same rates as ACRA members. These new benefits will be especially valuable to CAA members in the cultural resource management sector.
In 2021 the CAA would like to host a virtual conference, throughout the month of May. This could include remote versions of paper and poster sessions, and interactive webinars, as well as the annual Board of Directors meeting and AGM.
We are looking for a volunteer to serve as conference chair on behalf of the CAA, and other volunteers to serve on the organizing committee.

The CAA stands in solidarity with all victims of systemic injustice and calls our members to action.
