Welcome

We strive to provide a forum for exchange of information between Chairs for improving Biology teaching and research in Canada.

CCUBC colleagues and meetings have been invaluable resources during my time as a department chair. The collective wisdom, experience and camaraderie of fellow meeting attendees provide inspiration that the job of department chair is not only manageable, but can actually be a positive experience. I see the CCUBC as a tremendous asset for current and would-be chairs and encourage people from across the country to either become new members or maintain membership and attend the annual meetings.
