The purpose of this assistance program is to assist members of the Canadian society of Zoology who have natural caregiver functions (e.g., care of young children) and income that restricts their ability to attend the CSZ annual congresses. We will test this program at the 2019 Congress in Windsor with the intention of setting up a long-term program in the future.
