Northern Contaminants Program Results Workshop

The aim of the NCP Results Workshop is to evaluate the state of knowledge and the status of work conducted under the NCP for the year 2009/2010. Presentations, posters and panel discussions will revolve around contaminant-related themes and will focus this year on issues related to mercury and its significance to Northerners. The workshop will also provide an excellent opportunity to develop NCP proposal ideas prior to the NCP Call for Proposals in November 2010. It will encourage program participants to network, discuss their results, and co-ordinate future work.
