PRSSS AGM and Workshop

Theme – Soil Security: Past, Present, Future

Date – March 5th, 9AM-3PM PST

Location – Virtual (Zoom)

Registration for the 2022 PRSSS AGM and Spring Workshop is now open! The event will take place on March 5th from 9 AM – 3 PM PST and will be held via Zoom.

Recent current events, such as increased forest fire severity and regional flooding, have influenced many discussions about the state of our soil security. The topic for our 2022 AGM is “Soil Security: Past, Present, Future.” Throughout the day, we will be diving into how past decisions have shaped current events, how current events are shaping future planning, and the different intersections of soil security.

Registration cost is $15 CAD for students and $50 CAD for non-students/ professionals. The price includes registration and a PRSSS annual membership for 2022/2023. The 2022/2023 membership registration cycle lasts from April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023.
