Join us in Saskatoon, the “City of Bridges”, from June 1-3, 2008 for Canada’s annual event for biosafety professionals and personnel involved in biosafety and/or biocontainment facilities.
The Canadian Biosafety Symposium will feature presentations and posters on an array of biosafety topics, including containment facilities design, maintenance and equipment; laboratory management and operations; animal containment; biosecurity; and, infectious diseases affecting human and animals. It will be a unique opportunity for the biosafety community to learn and share knowledge with colleagues from across Canada and other countries.

The event will feature prominent containment and biosafety specialists, and will involve presentations by the Canadian and international biosafety community selected from abstracts and papers that are currently being welcomed from all sources.
The Symposium is presented by the Canadian Biosafety Training Partnership, a group including the Public Health Agency of Canada, Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Centre for Research on Environmental Microbiology (University of Ottawa), ABSA Canada, and the International Centre for Infectious Diseases.
