CSHS 2022 Conference

Welcome

Message from the CSHS President:

On behalf of the Canadian Society for Horticultural Science (CSHS), I would like to extend our
warm welcome to all the presenters and participants. We believe this face-to-face conference will
provide excellent opportunities for sharing and exchanging research results, ideas, and gaining
inspirations for future research, and broadening our knowledge in horticulture.

We would like to express our deep appreciation to the members of the Organizing Committee,
especially the Local Organizing Committee, for their great enthusiasm and tireless work to put
this excellent conference together. We wish you all an enjoyable, safe and fruitful conference!
