I hope you are doing well. I was wondering whether you could share this great opportunity with your student community. For the first time in its 91-year history, the Ottawa Conference on Security and Defence will be free for students to attend, a unique occasion to hear from thought leaders and decision-makers from across the world on the most pressing security issues of our day. STEM students, in particular, will have the opportunity to meet a host of potential employers in the defence and security sectors. [A picture containing funnel chart Description automatically generated.png] The CDA Institute is pleased to invite students to attend our upcoming 91st Ottawa Conference on Security and Defence (March 9th-10th), the largest event of its kind in Canada. All students can watch the event virtually for free, and 50 people will be selected at random among student registrants to attend the event in person at the prestigious Fairmount Château Laurier. The Ottawa Conference is by far the largest security and defence conference in Canada. Attendees include Senators, Members of Parliament, senior public servants from 20 different government departments and agencies, foreign dignitaries, as well as a very large delegation from the Canadian Armed Forces and the Department of National Defence including many General and Flag Officers. WHY ATTEND? Students will have the opportunity to hear from high-level practitioners and thought leaders in the fields of defence and security. Attending the conference will allow you to gain geostrategic insight and gather the timeliest expert threat analysis and understanding of security and technological developments. This represents a unique opportunity to showcase and increase your engagement within the thriving Canadian community interested in defence and security matters.

FW: Reminder: Masks help protect you and others
by CSCOUNS 28 Nov '22

28 Nov '22

To all Faculty, Staff and Students at CEPS: Remember: Masks help protect you and others With the return of cold and flu season and to help reduce the risk of COVID-19, the University of Guelph reminds you of the importance of wearing masks in high-density spaces, including classrooms, labs, elevators and meeting rooms. Think of the 3Cs when choosing to wear a mask. Masks are useful in spaces that are: * Closed (indoors) * Crowded, and * Create close contact. Wearing a mask is an easy way to protect yourself and those around you. We will continue to monitor public health trends and evaluate the need for masking. The University may reinstate its masking requirement at any time and with little notice. Any updates on our masking requirement will be shared as they become available. U of G's "Masks Up" spaces provide areas where students can study, feeling comfortable that those around them will be masked. Find a list of Masks Up spaces<https://maestro.uoguelph.ca/trk/click?ref=z12igfsq5w_0-2ba7x317d30x026191&> on the COVID-19 website.
