Welcome message from the conference chair:

As I am writing this message, like many others I have mixed feelings about what lies ahead of us in the near future (coming weeks) and how the pandemic is going to affect millions around the world. However, I am very optimistic that our long term future is bright with many opportunities to get back on track with our social and networking activities. In line with this, on behalf of the CSCE 2022 Local Organizing Committee (LOC), I am delighted to invite you to attend the Annual Conference of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE) in Whistler, BC from May 25-28, 2022. This conference is being planned as a face to face conference.

The CSCE Annual Conference creates the perfect opportunity for exposure to industry professionals, academics and government delegates. Presentations of peer‐reviewed papers and relevant case studies by innovative practitioners at the General and Specialty Conferences will inform practicing Canadian civil engineers of new developments in infrastructure and allow attendees an opportunity to share and gain knowledge. The theme for this conference is Engineering, Community, Connections. We are also proud to host the Specialty Conferences in Cold Regions, Engineering Materials, Environmental, Structures, and Transportation at this event.

The Municipality of Whistler is located in the Pacific Ranges the spectacular Coast Mountains on the shared unceded territory of the Squamish Nation and Lil’wat Nation.
