Electronic Lecture Series

The CIF/IFC in partnership with the Canadian Forest Service and Natural Resources Canada are now offerring an interactive electronic lecture series. Lectures will run for one hour approximately once per month and will feature experts and practitioners.

How are the lectures run?
The lectures are very low tech. Basically, once you register we will provide you with a link to download the speakers' presentation and the teleconferencing numbers. At the time of the lecture, you phone into the teleconference and follow along with the speaker on your computer, or on a projector.

Can I get Continuing Education Credits for participating in these lectures?
A few provincial RPF and RFT organizations have evaluated the lecture series for their continuing education programs. If you are interested in getting hours towards your professional designation, contact Julia for more information. The CIF also has a voluntary continuing education credit system that you can earn credits for through the lecture series.

Get your office group together, book a room with a projector and a telephone and register today!
