Dear CAA Members,

We regret to inform you that the CAA Board of Directors, in consultation with the 2020 conference organizing committee, have decided to cancel this year’s meeting in Edmonton. The health and safety of our members is our top priority and we want to help moderate the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on Canada’s healthcare system. Our decision to cancel is based on current projections on the spread of the COVID-19 virus and increased travel restrictions from provincial and federal agencies and universities.

There are currently no plans to cancel the CAA annual meeting in Edmonton, but should any conference registrant have to cancel their travel plans because of a travel advisory issued by a public health authority or company/organization/institution travel restrictions imposed due to the COVID-19 virus, we will refund their registration fees.
