CSGA’s 2023 AGM

On the Edge Of Canada

St. John’s, Newfoundland July 8-10, 2023

A Message from the President

WELCOME TO ST. JOHN’S! CSGA is pleased to welcome attendees and their families to this year’s Annual General Meeting in beautiful St. John’s, Newfoundland from Saturday, July 8 to Monday, July 10, 2023.

On one of the four corners of the world, Newfoundland is one of the best places to see and appreciate nature in all its glory. Warm and welcoming, fun-loving and funny, Newfoundlanders are known for their natural creativity, unique language, and knack for storytelling. In fact, there are more varieties of English spoken in Newfoundland and Labrador than anywhere else in the world! St. John’s is known for its colourful homes on the rocky shores and its friendly folk.

We couldn’t have picked a more perfect place to welcome you all back in person! I look forward to seeing you there.

Dale Connell
