HEART & SOULS Conference - QUEUC

EMERGENCY MESSAGE: Heart & Souls 2020 Cancelled

Dear Heart & Souls participants,
We deeply regret that, in accordance with orders from Bishop’s administration, we have been compelled to cancel this weekend’s conference. We apologize for the last-minute notice, but we are responding to a rapidly developing situation, and the administration at Bishop’s has determined that all non-essential meetings at the university must be cancelled.

Participants who are able to change or cancel their travel plans are encouraged to do so. If you are already in Sherbrooke, or in transit, please be in touch, as the coordinators are working creatively to make accommodations for the duration of your stay.

We apologize again for the considerable inconvenience. With many countries and regions recommending self-quarantine and many institutions strongly advising staff, faculty, and students to restrict travel, Bishop’s University has determined it is no longer practical nor ethical to continue with our annual conference.

On behalf of the conference coordinators, we hope that you and yours remain safe and healthy.
