A big THANK YOU to all of our members and guests who took the time out of their busy schedules to join us at our Annual General Meeting and Reception on June 9, 2016. It was a great time for connecting and celebrating the significant contributions of members to the Geoscience profession and to the Association. We recognized APGO volunteers, recipients of Fellow of Geoscientists of Canada designation (FGC), and recipients of APGO's inaugural Award of Merit at this packed event. It was also here that the APGO Education Foundation announced the recipients of its inaugural scholarship and bursary awards. Overall, the event was a big success.
APGO thanks TD Insurance Meloche Monnex for once again sponsoring this year's reception.
Highlights and photos from the 2016 AGM and Reception will be published in the subsequent issue of Field Notes and will be posted at www.apgo.net.
