CRHNET a Great Success!

I attended and presented at the 4th Annual Canadian Risk and Hazards Network Symposium in Vancouver, BC.  There was a lot of talk about how CRHNET should be the Natural Hazards Workshop of Canada.  Well, I think it is well on its way!  The conference was a great success, with an impressive diversity of practitioners and researchers from all over Canada and the globe.  I was particularly impressed by the inclusion of a World Cafe (a method for deliberative dialogue) in the program, organized by Laurie Pearce.


Now if only the next one would be so close to Bellingham...
