Colloquium Cancellation
Last Updated 13 March 2020
Unfortunately, it has become necessary to cancel this year’s Canadian Military History Colloquium due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We understand that this will be disappointing to our presenters and attendees, but we also know that no one wants to endanger anyone’s health. We do not have any plans to reschedule the conference and would instead invite you back next spring for our 2021 conference on 7-8 May.
Anyone who has already paid the registration fee will be reimbursed in full. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact [email protected].
