Have a look at the November Newsletter <a href=\"https:\/\/cscc-sccc.ca\/fr\/newsletters\/november-2025\/\">https:\/\/cscc-sccc.ca\/newsletters\/November-2025\/<\/a> for travel tips and things to do in \u201cCanada\u2019s Ocean Playground\u201d.\u00a0 It\u2019s been a cool spring so far so please remember this will <u>not<\/u> be Victoria coastal (with early tulips), but North Atlantic coastal.\u00a0 Don\u2019t forget that options to get downtown from the Halifax airport are rideshare, taxi\/limo, or car rental (recommend booking ahead!).<\/p>\n<p>Continue to check the conference website for updates and the conference app as well. There are new industry workshops and details being added to help you plan your attendance at the great lineup of workshops that CSCC members and our industry partners have curated.<\/p>\n<p>I also wanted to specifically take this opportunity to highlight our sponsors for this year\u2019s meeting.\u00a0 Their ongoing support and participation in our meetings are incredibly valuable to us.\u00a0 In fact, I\u2019m issuing a call and a challenge to CSCC Members this year:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do take the time to visit the exhibits, to connect with the vendors\/sponsors, and to express appreciation for their support.<\/li>\n<li>As your schedule allows, do take advantage of the excellent industry workshops that are running on Monday at 2pm and 4pm.<\/li>\n<li>Engage with the vendor posts on social media to amplify our appreciation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 17.5644%;\" width=\"108\"><strong>Sponsorship Level<\/strong><\/td>\n<td
