Message from the President

Dear Members of the Canadian Society of Forensic Science,

It is truly an honour and privilege to serve as this year’s President of the Canadian Society of Forensic Science. I am excited to work alongside each of you to foster meaningful partnerships that promote education, research, and innovation across all disciplines of forensic science.

Building on the momentum of our 2025 Power of Forensics conference held in June, we are energized by the connections forged between forensic practitioners, academics, and stakeholders. This spirit of collaboration will continue to guide us as we sponsor a series of educational webinars focused on emerging technologies and the pressing challenges facing our field today.

We are a Society rich in intellect, experience, and enthusiasm. I encourage all members—new and longstanding—to get involved, contribute your expertise, and help shape the future of forensic science in Canada. Whether through committee work, mentorship, and knowledge-sharing, your participation strengthens our collective voice and impact.

Together, let us embrace the opportunities ahead and work toward a productive, inclusive, and enlightening year.

Warm regards,

Diana Polley
President, Canadian Society of Forensic Science
