2015 CDA Conference call for papers deadline fast approaching

The deadline for the submission of abstracts for papers to be presented at the CDA 2015 Conference is Jan. 31, 2015.

The Canadian Dam Association (CDA) Annual Conference is the national forum for Engineers, Geoscientists, Dam Owners and Operators and other stakeholders with an interest in dams. It is an opportunity to exchange ideas and information concerning the operations, maintenance and management of both water control dams and mining dams.

CDA's 2015 Annual Conference will be held in Mississauga, Ontario, from Oct. 3-8, 2015. The theme for the Conference is "Dams for the People", examining how dams play an important role in Canadian life, such as protecting communities from flooding, providing clean renewable energy and protection of the environment through responsible management of mining and industrial dams.

Potential authors for technical papers are invited to submit a 300- to 500-word abstract for their papers by Jan. 31, 2015. Abstracts may be submitted in either English or French, and should include a short title and names of the authors and their affiliation.
