CAG/CARTO Annual Meeting 2026
Register Now Open
Welcome to Resilience
In our current age of climate change, habitat destruction, social injustice, and political disinformation, it is vital to recognize that connection is resilience. Our ability to adapt, recover, and innovate in the face of challenges depends on how we work together as citizens and scientists of all disciplines. Embracing this perspective, CAG/CARTO 2026 has selected Resilience as our theme.
Join the Canadian Association of Geographers-CAG / Association Canadienne des Géographes-ACG and the Association of Canadian Map Libraries and Archives-ACMLA / Association des Cartothèques et Archives Cartographiques du Canada-ACACC on Lək̓ʷəŋən territory, also known as Victoria BC, on June 1-4, 2026 as we work together to wrestle with these issues, offer solutions, and take action.
