     CAC 25th Annual Conference and Workshop

     Winnipeg, the city of festivals and host of the 1999 Pan-American
 Games
 is
     proud to host the 25th Annual CAC Conference and Workshop from the
 26th
 to
     the 30th of May, 1999.
     The conference and workshop will take place at the newly restored
     Hotel
     Fort Garry in the heart of Winnipeg, close to the Forks national
 Historic
     Site. The Forks (the Junction of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers), has
 for
     over 6,000 years been the place where people have come to meet, trade,
 and
     tell stories. It is therefore appropriate that the CAC hold its annual
     conference and workshop in this area to continue the tradition.

     The theme for the 1999 workshop is "Green Conservation: Environmental
 and
     Human Safety in Conservation." Greater public awareness of
     environmental

     issues and human health have altered views of safety in the workplace
     particularly in the field of conservation. In this workshop we will
 examine
     health hazards and how to combat them; not only toxic chemicals, but
 also
     biological hazards such as those encountered in disaster recovery and
     infestation. Physical hazards, diseases, and injuries that commonly
 occur
     will also be examined.
     The workshop will also study how the conservation profession is taking
 steps
     to prevent further danage and reduce risk by adopting environmentally
 safe
     treatments and new options which move away from the use of hazardous
     materials.
     We look forward to seeing you all in Winnipeg!
