Branches
In response to registrants’ desire for more branch events, branch executives began scheduling more events outside of work hours, and we saw a notable, province-wide increase in the number of their activities and attendees—to the highest level in five years. Registrants also attended more in-person events, including networking and golf tournaments across the province. Some branches began having facility tours that were so successful that most of them were fully booked. This excitement for in-person activities also overflowed to outreach events, with the Edmonton Branch hosting eight Science Nights and the Calgary Branch hosting five Science Nights, each of which was packed with eager students and more than 50 volunteers. Fort McMurray Branch and Peace Region Branch volunteers visited Indigenous communities to do their own Science Nights, and a Yellowhead Branch geoscientist went to local schools to talk about rocks and fossils. The demand for in-person branch and outreach events was the highest since 2020, thanks to the work of our branch volunteers.
