[AGM Cancellation]

It is with a heavy heart that the Prairie Northern Chapter of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry needs to announce that the 11th Annual Meeting planned for June 15-16th, 2020, at the University of Saskatchewan has been canceled.
We did not make this decision lightly, but the situation around the COVID-19 in Canada is evolving rapidly. We are, above all, committed to the health and safety of our society members. This decision is in-line with many other regional and international SETAC meetings, and newly imposed regulations related to large meetings in Saskatchewan and at the University.
At this point, we are planning to postpone the meeting for one year. So mark your calendars for PNC 2021 at the University of Saskatchewan - similar time, same place, same theme.
We want to take the opportunity to thank all members who planned to participate, as well as our hard-working Local Organization Committee, our supporters and sponsors. They all have dedicated much of their time and effort already to make the meeting a success. Please check our PNC website periodically for updates.

The SETAC Prairie Northern Chapter will be hosting its 11th Annual General Meeting and Conference this year at the University of Saskatchewan from June 15-16, 2020. This year's theme is Bridging Communities: Strengthening Research Through Collaboration.
