Welcome from the President - Pamela Dixon

Welcome to the 2021/2022 year of the Canadian Society of Forensic Science (CSFS).

The last year was one of great adaptability, resilience and responsibility. The forensic science community continued to provide services to both our policing and education communities. I salute all the hardworking staff of forensic labs, educational facilities and all those who continued to do what needed to be done during the Pandemic. This year, I look forward to working with the Board of Directors and the CSFS committee chairs to support our membership and look for ways to be innovative. I would like to build on the foundation we have garnered and look for ways to ignite our imagination and collaboration.

Upcoming E
