| English | français | Canadian Nautical Research Society - ConferencesConference & Annual General MeetingHalifax, Nova Scotia – 10-12 August 2017Canada and Canadians in the Great War at Sea, 1914-19The 2017 Conference and Annual General Meeting is being held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, 10-12 August 2017, in affiliation with the Royal Canadian Navy. Set in historic Admiralty House, the home of the Naval Museum of Halifax, the timing and location are chosen with regard to 2017 being the centenary of the Halifax Explosion, a defining moment in that port's long history. As always, subject matter is not restricted to military operations and related issues, but includes a wide range of maritime topics across history, to be presented according to the draft program below (revised as of 23 July 2017). The conference registration allows for "full" and "daily" rates, and options for tours: of the Maritime Museum of Nova Scotia (including access to HMCS / CGS Acadia); and of sites relating to the Halifax Explosion (separate expense, and limited seating). Light refreshments are included, with lunch available for purchase in the nearby Navy Officers' Wardroom (Juno Tower) at a modest cost. Membership in the Society is not a requirement for participation in the Conference, but we are confidant you will see the benefits and looking forward to you joining us in Halifax.
