Given the recent escalation in COVID-19 (coronavirus) cases, the ��ݮ����Ƶ���� has adopted a framework based on Public Health Agency of Canada guidelines to determine whether previously scheduled events should proceed as planned. Upon review of the specifics of this event, it has been determined that the 9^th Annual Philosophy Graduate Student Conference will be cancelled.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

This cancellation was not done due to a specific risk, but rather because of the weighting of risk factors around COVID-19 such as event size, nature, audience composition and travel considerations. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Ananya Chattoraj at ananya.chattoraj@ucalgary.ca, and we wish you the best of health.
