Early in my career, while training to be an operational meteorologist 43 years ago, I signed up to become a member of CMOS. It was an exciting time. Since then, CMOS membership has enabled me to remain connected with friends and colleagues, and develop new relationships with many others from the private sector, other government departments, and universities.

As early career researchers, we are always on the lookout for learning more about the scientific landscape in which we evolve.

We were saddened to learn of the passing of Dr. John Lazier on March 9, 2021. John was one of the original employees hired in 1960 during the establishment of the Bedford Institute of Oceanography (BIO), which opened in October 1962.
Registration for the 55th CMOS Congress hosted by the Vancouver Island Centre is now open!
Congress 2021 will be presented online from May 31 to June 11, 2021. To facilitate sharing “live” presentations across the five time zones within Canada, the core scientific program activities will be provided from 11:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time (8:30 AM to 1:00 PM Pacific Time) each day. A Welcome Session for each day will start at 11:00 AM and on some days special events, involving networking and social interactions will continue until 6:00 PM Eastern Time.

Thank you, CMOS Bulletin readers, for welcoming me as the new editor of the Bulletin! As I’m sitting at my home in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal watching the snow fall, I’m able to reflect on how, in a year that been full of chaos, the topics that we work on—weather, climatology, hydrology, oceans—continue to be more important than ever.
The Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (CMOS), the premier Society for atmospheric and oceanographic sciences in Canada, offers undergraduate and graduate scholarships to students in atmospheric sciences, meteorology, climate, oceanography and related fields (e.g., mathematics, hydrology, limnology).
