Mission: The mission of the Canadian Section of The Wildlife Society is to foster excellence in wildlife stewardship through science and education among wildlife professionals in Canada.
Welcome to the Canadian Section of The Wildlife Society. We are only three years old, a relatively new and developing Section north of the US border. The Section is particularly attuned to Canadian issues and opportunities as the Mission Statement implies, “in Canada.” We offer a new and important dimension to the Society in terms of international views and approaches. Please have a look at our newsletter and updates on various activities and events of our three provincial and five student chapters. We plan to hold our 2010 annual meeting in Edmonton next July 3rd in support of our Alberta chapters. Also, members will have the opportunity to attend the international conference of the Society of Conservation Biology (SCB) from July 3-7.
Our program and activities to date include:
Holds an annual business meeting and associated activities (field trips, technical paper session, etc.) each summer.
Sponsors plenary and technical sessions on wildlife management and research in Canada.
Publishes a quarterly newsletter.
Encourages formation of new chapters in Canada.
Develops new approaches to chapter formation in remote areas.
Develops proposals for hosting international conferences, workshops and symposia.
