President’s Message Winter 2018

In anticipation of an early spring (this winter has been a cold and snowy one, at least in Ontario), I would like to update all of you on what has happened in Canadian archaeology and the CAA since the last time we all saw one another in Gatineau-Ottawa in May 2017. The 50th annual CAA conference in Gatineau was a resounding success thanks to the efforts of the organizing committee from the Canadian Museum of History, particularly Jean-Luc Pilon and Kerri Davis. The attendance set a new record.

President’s Statement

This is my first message to all of you as CAA President and I want to begin by thanking Greg Hare, Ruth Gotthardt, Jeff Hunston, and the army of volunteers who organized a highly successful conference in Whitehorse in May 2016, packed with great papers, social events, and “Land of the Midnight Sun” hospitality. We gained a new Vice-President at this meeting. Congratulations to Jennifer Campbell who was elected to replace outgoing VP Adrian Burke. I would like to thank Adrian for his dedicated service as Vice-President. In May 2016, I took on the duties of President, replacing Lisa Rankin.

President’s Statement

Happy New Year All,

As my first message to the membership as CAA President I would like to start by saying how very much I enjoyed the annual meetings in London. Matthew Beaudoin, Joshua Dent, and their team did an excellent job organizing a vibrant, fun and informative conference. We also welcomed a new Vice-President at the conference. Congratulations to Adrian Burke who is taking over the role of VP from Jennifer Birch, and of course I stepped into the shoes of William Ross who now becomes Past-President. On behalf of all of us I would like to thank Jennifer for her work on the executive. As a new president I am very glad that Bill will remain in the board for another year to provide much needed guidance.
