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! For more information contact: Shelagh Linklater Workshop Chair c/o Provincial Archives of Manitoba 200 Vaughan Street Winnipeg, Manitoba.
