The Western branch of the CNS covers Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. We are dedicated to pursuing public understanding of nuclear power and radiation.

Our specific activities include:

• Outreach and education with the branch’s membership and the broader public.
• Holding virtual seminars on topics relevant to the development of nuclear science and technology in Western Canada.
• In-person events geared towards students at university chapters, specifically University of Calgary and University of Regina

For a list of committee members, see CNS Western Branch – Executive Committee. For more information or to get involved in the CNS Western Branch, please contact Raphaël Schirrer (raphael.schirrer@gmail.com)
