THE CANADIAN ASSOCIATION FOR EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING
is a national, nonprofit, technical society whose membership is open
to all interested engineers, geoscientists, architects, researchers,
educators, designers, planners, economists, social scientists, public
officials, government and building code officials. CAEE/ACGP is an
independent but interdisciplinary organization that seeks cooperation with
other national technical and professional societies, as well as other
counterpart associations across the world. CAEE/ACGP is the national
organization representing Canada on the International Association for
Earthquake Engineering, the world's parent body of the national associations
of its member countries. |

MISSION STATEMENT
The primary objective of CAEE/ACGP is to foster earthquake
engineering practice and research in Canada. This overall goal is
met through initiating a communication network for earthquake
engineering practice and research activities in Canada, sponsoring
national earthquake engineering conferences and other technical
meetings, encouraging and facilitating the application of research
into engineering practice.

NEW CAEE/ACGP WEB PAGE |
|
A new web page for
CAEE/ACGP is now operational to provide better service to our
members. The main features of the web page include Electronic
Newsletter, interaction with members on issues concerning
"Seismic Design," and "Recent Research and Development," as
well as providing relevant links to various activities. These
features will be kept operations with contributions from
standing committees on design and research, which will
maintain up-to-date sections on "Design" and "Research"
related activities. The members will be informed of new and
developing NBCC Seismic Code provisions, as appropriate, and
the activities of the Canadian National Committee on
Earthquake Engineering (CANCEE). Undoubtedly, the web page
will improve communications with our members and improve
service in fostering earthquake engineering in Canada as the
primary objective of the Association. |

INTERNATIONAL
ACTIVITIES |
|
The CAEE/ACGP administration has been working with Earthquake
Engineering Research Institute (EERI) in the U.S. to
strengthen international links and collaborations. We have
given full support to EERI's "Research and
Outreach Plan," and are in the process of signing a formal
agreement with EERI to enhance exchange of information and
technical knowledge between our members. A more detailed
information is available in the CAEE/ACGP Newsletter. |
