The Canadian Hydrographic Conference 2010 will take place in June, in Québec City

The Canadian Hydrographic Association in collaboration with the Canadian Hydrographic Service of Fisheries and Oceans Canada is proud to host the 36th edition of the Canadian Hydrographic Conference which this year will be held at the Québec City Convention Centre from June 21 to 23. The event will open on Sunday, June 20 with an Icebreaker reception and a workshop. The conference will bring together some 400 members of the international hydrographic community to explore the theme: Hydrography: Science, technology and people dedicated to the maritime world.

Since this year’s official opening will coincide with World Hydrography Day—established by the United Nations and under the umbrella of the International Hydrographic Organization—. The CHC 2010 will celebrate this world day by raising public awareness about the importance of hydrography. To this end, the public will be invited to visit the trade show and hydrographic vessels of the Canadian Coast Guard moored in the Port of Québec City’s Bassin Louise during the afternoon on Monday, June 21.
