The Northern Contaminants Program (NCP) Management Committee announces
the 17th annual NCP Results Workshop, to be held 29 September - 1
October 2009, at the Crowne Plaza, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

The aim of the NCP Results Workshop is to evaluate the state of
knowledge and the status of work conducted under the NCP for the year
2008-2009. Presentations, posters, and panel discussions will revolve
around contaminant-related themes and will focus this year on reviewing
and revising the NCP blueprints. The workshop will also provide an
excellent opportunity to develop NCP proposal ideas prior to the NCP
Call for Proposals in November 2009. It will encourage program
participants to network, discuss their results, and co-ordinate future
work.

Workshop registration will be available via the NCP website
(http://www.ainc-inac.gc.ca/nth/ct/ncp/index-eng.asp) in the coming
weeks.

Room rate will be $139.00 per night under the group name "Indian and
Northern Affairs Canada." Room reservations at the Crowne Plaza can be
made by phone, fax, or email:
