The Citizen Science Alberta Community of Practice (CitSci Alberta) is made up of almost 400 dedicated practitioners who are keen to build capacity and tools for citizen science, expand the use of citizen science data, and grow our community of practice. The group is hosting a series of events in October and hope you will join us. The in-person workshop is an opportunity to network and establish pathways to fostering community engagement, accessibility, and credibility in monitoring and science.

Workshop, October 30, 2024, 9:00 am - 4:30 pm
