RhetCanada’s 2020 conference is postponed due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Here are some important things to note about this postponement:
- Proposals that have been accepted for this year’s RhetCanada meeting are also accepted for the 2021 meeting at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. If a significant number of people with accepted proposals cannot attend the 2021 meeting, we will re-issue a call for proposals to bring in new presenters.
- The RhetCanada membership dues paid last year for 2019-2020 will be extended to 2021, so members who paid dues in June 2019 will remain RhetCanada members without paying additional dues until our meeting in June 2021. If you did not pay dues last year but wish to become a member of RhetCanada, we encourage you to visit our Join Us page.
- We will still be holding the 2020 RhetCanada annual general meeting, but as a live (synchronous) online event. The 2020 RhetCanada AGM will take place on Thursday, June 4 from 4:00-5:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Our annual meeting is important to the ongoing functioning of our association, so we cordially invite all members to attend. Instructions for attending the meeting online, along with an agenda, reports, and early notices of motions will be distributed to members over the coming weeks.
