En raison d’un problème technique, les formulaires en français soumis avant le samedi 14 février à 19 h (HE) n’ont malheureusement pas été enregistrés dans notre base de données. Bien que le problème ait été détecté et réglé, environ 40 formulaires ont été perdus.

Most importantly. The revised CSA standard is open for public comment until Aug 19. If you can only do 1 thing, please do the public comment via CSA. A guide for how to do this is available from @donoharmbc.bsky.social donoharmbc.ca

We are facing considerable pushback from jerks like Lilley & IPAC
