The record for the greatest number of participants at our Conference was established at the Carleton University last year with 484. The previous high point had been held by York University since 2005 with 454 attendees. There is no doubt that he popularity of our annual event is continuously on the rise. The CHA Annual Conference held at Concordia University in Montreal attracted no less than 499 participants, a new pinnacle in the long history of the association’s annual meeting. Onwards to Fredericton! You would like to take part in the next CHA Annual Meeting by presenting a paper. Please find the Call for papers for 2011 here.
