Join us for this year’s highly anticipated symposium, "Toward Resilience: Preparing for the Big One- Cascadia Megathrust Earthquake." Building on the success of last two year's inaugural event, this symposium will bring together a diverse community of professionals, including structural and geotechnical engineers, geoscientists, planners, government representatives, and academic researchers.
The event will feature keynote lectures by Dr. John Cassidy from Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and Prof. Perry Adebar from the University of British Columbia, along with invited expert talks. A panel discussion will explore the challenges of designing earthquake-resilient structures, such as buildings, bridges, dams, and tailings storage facilities. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with industry leaders and advance earthquake resilience in BC
