FUSAC is a member of the Canadian Federation of the Humanities and Social
Sciences; the Canadian Federation holds its Congresses once a year. FUSAC
attends its Congresses once every other year.<br>
<br>
Therefore, we are meeting under the Canadian Federation’s auspices. Along with
us, 74 other Canadian scholarly organizations will be meeting in the 8-day period
for the 2010 Congress, from Friday, May 28 through Friday, June 4. The more
closely allied organizations meeting during this time are: the Hungarian
Studies Association of Canada (May 29-May 30), Association for the Advancement
of Scandinavian Studies (May 28-31), Canadian Association of Slavists (May
28-31), Canadian Linguistic Association (May 29-31), Canadian Anthropology
Society (June 1-June 3), Folklore Studies Association of Canada (May 28-May
30), Canadian Association for the Study of Names (May 29-31), Canadian
Association of Applied Linguistics (June 1-June 3), Canadian Historical
Association (May 30-June 1), Canadian Political Science Association (June
1-June 3), Canadian Comparative Literature Association (May 28-May 30),
Canadian Association for Commonwealth Literature and Language Studies (May
28-May 30), Canadian Studies (May 29-May 30). <br>
Thus, we have a real intellectual tour de force awaiting us all. I would also
like to point out that the Canadian Federation Congresses have </span></font></b><b><font

September Canadian Federation 2010 conference meeting at Concordia University,
located very close to the heart of Montreal. Inter alia, Liisa reported that
Concordia “…is a small campus and so should be easy to navigate. Most of the
buildings seemed quite nice and modern.” <br>
