A few times a year, the Ottawa Chapter hosts evening seminars on topics of general interest, which are free and open to all. These offer an opportunity for individuals involved in remote sensing, including students, academics, professionals, and enthusiasts, to meet in an informal setting. Food and refreshments at these events are sponsored by members of the local remote sensing industry and presentations are given by speakers from various governmental, industrial, and educational institutions in Canada and from around the world.

Monthly information targeted to the Ottawa regional remote sensing community is shared vie the CRSS-Ottawa Highlights eNewsletter, which all members are encouraged to subscribe and contribute to.

We are always searching for new members for the CRSS. If you are interested in obtaining information regarding our seminars, have suggestions for an event, or wish to become a member of the Ottawa Chapter of CRSS, please contact: CRSSOttawa@Gmail.com.
