Calgary CIC Local Section

The Calgary CIC Local Section consists of the portion of the province of Alberta south of, but excluding Red Deer.

The Association of the Chemical Profession of Alberta (ACPA) is pleased to announce the new ACPA Public Lectures in Chemistry. These lectures are intended to be annual events addressing chemistry-related topics of concern to the general public. Our inaugural speaker will be Graham Thomson, the noted columnist from the Edmonton Journal. He will be speaking on a topic that he researched as a Canadian Journalism Foundation fellow at the University of Toronto in 2008-2009: “Burying Carbon Dioxide in Underground Saline Aquifers: Political folly or climate change fix?” His lectures are scheduled for Edmonton April 7, 2010, and Calgary on April 14, 2010. A reception will follow each of the lectures. For details, a short biography and abstract, please refer to the attached flyer.
