To Whom It May Concern:
The Canadian Ecotoxicity Workshop (CEW), formerly known as the Aquatic Toxicity Workshop (ATW), is
Canada’s major annual meeting in the field of ecological toxicology and related disciplines. It provides
the opportunity to share information on current and emerging topics of regional, national and
international importance related to contaminants in ecosystems, including aquatic organisms, wildlife,
and soils/sediments. Participants include students, academics, government scientists and regulators,
environmental consultants and industry representatives.
CEW is also an important venue for professional training. In addition to the professional development
courses typically offered, novel forums for scientific communication, such as panel discussions and
interactive poster formats, will be explored this year. We expect this will foster dialogue between
attendees and presenters and enhance the face-to-face experience. CEW boasts an impressive student
program, including dynamic mentoring opportunities (“speed” mentoring has been a crowd-favourite),
and best student poster and platform presentation awards. Finally, CEW provides an excellent
opportunity to network, as attendees at this mid-size conference span all career stages and have
professional experience in different work sectors.
