One way we've chosen to extend our
reach to the outside world is through
the Interrnet. Conference staff members
are accessible via email and all Conference
publications, tourism information, and
general Conference information are
contained in our World Wide Web site.
We also maintain an email mailing list
to provide on-line bulletins about new
developments or to announce changes
to the website.
The website contains thetext and
photos from each of our publications
(including this newsletter). It also contains
photographs of the city of Vancouver.and
our Conference venues.And it provides
links to tourism sites that tell you more
about the Vancouver area as well as sites
that describe Whistler, the BC Rockies,
and other BC getaways.You can even get
a listing of the golf courses in the region!
Through our website you can leave
your name and address for inclusion in
our mailing list to receive Conference
publications and updates.We also welcome
suggestions and comments about our
on-line services as we are always seeking
to improve them.
