2019 CFE Engagement Session Survey

On Wednesday October 9, 2019, DFO is providing an opportunity for CFE staff, managers, and board members to get together in Vancouver for a PICFI engagement session. At this engagement session, DFO will give program updates, and will provide a venue for in-person discussions with the Program Authority. There will also be an opportunity in the afternoon for CFEs to share information about their projects and successes, and to network on areas of mutual interest.

The BDT has been asked to help gather information from CFEs about what topics they would like to discuss, and to see which groups would be interested in presenting for the rest of the group.

Please respond to this quick survey to let us know your preferences.
