Ideally we would like to have all copies submitted at the conference or within two weeks (March 30, 2012) after the conference. Please e-mail your electronic copy (Microsoft Word) to grant.wood at usask.ca or drop a CD off when you make your presentation. Please do not submit powerpoint presentations for the conference proceedings.
