2017 Conference This year, Ottawa is at the heart of the celebration for Canada 150. As we welcome you to CALL 2017, we hope that you find both the conference and the city to be unforgettable. Our opening reception at the Canadian Museum of Nature is in the birthplace of Canada’s national museums - this was the first building in Canada created to house a national museum. Greet old friends and meet new colleagues while admiring the castle-like architecture and the fascinating exhibits.Home to Parliament and to the Supreme Court of Canada, Ottawa is where Canada’s legislative and legal history has been created and preserved for 150 years. Our Social Committee has arranged tours of both the Library of Parliament and the Supreme Court, as well as a variety of other tours and walks. Our closing reception will be held at the Canadian Museum of History. The venue stands on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River, and boasts spectacular views of the city and Parliament Hill.
Cette année, Ottawa est au cœur de la célébration du Canada 150. Comme nous vous souhaitons la bienvenue à l’ACBD/CALL 2017, nous espérons que vous trouverez à la fois la conférence et la ville inoubliable. Notre réception d'ouverture au Musée canadien de la nature est le lieu de naissance des musées nationaux du Canada. Il s'agissait du premier bâtiment au Canada créé pour abriter un musée national. Accueillez de vieux amis et rencontrez de nouveaux collègues tout en admirant l'architecture digne d’un château et des expositions fascinantes. Abritant le Parlement du Canada et la Cour suprême du Canada, Ottawa est l'endroit où l'histoire législative et juridique du Canada a été créée et conservée pendant 150 ans. Notre comité social a organisé des visites à la fois à la Bibliothèque du Parlement et à la Cour suprême du Canada, ainsi qu’une variété d'autres visites et promenades soulignant la beauté et l'importance historique de la région. Notre réception de clôture aura lieu au Musée canadien de l'histoire. Le site est situé du côté québécois de la rivière des Outaouais et offre une vue spectaculaire sur la ville et la colline du Parlement Click here to view the conference program in English or French Session Descriptions & Speaker Biographies - English or French 2017 Conference Recordings Now Available!
