A Message from the
Conference Chair
I take this opportunity to invite you to the Canadian
Academy of Restorative Dentistry and Prosthodontics
Annual Meeting which is to be held in Calgary, Alberta
October 13 – 16, 2010. Many of you have probably heard
Calgary referred to as “Cow Town”, but, if you are
hoping to see cows, you might be disappointed. Calgary
is a very cosmopolitan city that has experienced
tremendous growth over the past decade.
The Westin Calgary Hotel, which is the venue for our
meeting, was newly renovated and redecorated in the
past year and is truly first class. I know that you
will find it very comfortable as it offers all the
amenities to make your stay enjoyable.

Our Meeting will begin on Thursday, October 14th with
a course presented by Naoki Aiba, CDT, titled: Dental
Photography for Dentists – Laboratory Communication.
Mr. Aiba is not only an excellent dental technician
but also an award winning professional photographer.
For those who might like to take part in a little more
vigorous activity we are planning an adventure tour on
Thursday all can participate in. Stay tuned for more
information to be announced in coming weeks. Thursday
evening we will have our “meet and greet evening” that
will feature food, drink and an opportunity to mingle
with friends and exhibitors.
Our scientific portion of the Meeting will begin on
Friday and will feature Dr. David Garber who will be
presenting: Real World Dentistry - 2010 and Beyond.
Friday evening, dress up in your western duds for a
casual evening featuring a barbeque, calf roping, bull
riding and some good old western dancing. The
Scientific Meeting on Saturday will feature four
presentations in the morning and table clinics in the
afternoon. As usual, the Meeting will be “capped” by
the President’s Ball that will feature fine dining and
a great orchestra to dance the night away.
For those of you who are planning on coming a little
early and perhaps spending Thanksgiving in the
mountains, the Banff and Lake Louise areas can be
beautiful at that time of year. But be prepared for
all seasons during that period and don’t forget to
bring some warm clothing, just in case. I hope that
all of you will be able to attend the seventeenth
Annual Meeting of our Academy.

A Message from the
2010 President of CARDP
It is my privilege to serve as President of The Canadian Academy of
Restorative Dentistry and Prosthodontics for 2010. Over the years I
have watched the executive and the standing committees shape our
Academy into the organization that it is today. Every year, as the
Academy changes its conference venue, the local organizing committee
generates a scientific and social program that highlight the
attributes of that area. Through the work of the regional
councillors and committees and the publication of our Journal we
have become a truly national organization.
|

Our Canadian Journal of Restorative Dentistry &
Prosthodontics has placed our Academy in the forefront of Canadian
dentistry. The development of the Journal was made possible through
the efforts of dedicated leaders such as Hubert Gaucher,
Editor-in-Chief and John Birkby, group publisher. It has been said
that leaders are not made by following the footsteps of others but
by creating their own. The hard work of the communication committee
and the visionaries who created the Journal, then carried it to
publication, deserve our most sincere congratulations and gratitude.
It would be remiss of me not to make a special note of thanks to
David Alexander and Glenn Richardson for their administrative
assistance. David and Glenn have been instrumental in developing all
those fine points in organization that make our Academy run
smoothly.
This year I have the honour to preside over our Annual Meeting in
Calgary, Alberta. Ed McIntyre and his committee have developed a
scientific program that will be provocative and stimulating for all
the attendees. I extend a most sincere invitation to all members and
guests to attend the scientific program, and to renew or make new
friendships from across this great country. The social portion of
the program is designed to stimulate a camaraderie that can last a
lifetime.
On behalf of the entire CARDP Executive, myself and Dianne, I wish
you good health and prosperity in the coming year.
Sincerely,
Vernon Shaffner
CARDP President
