This conference also served the purpose of celebrating Prof. Martin Kuester's contribution to the field of #canadianstudies and giving him a proper send-off into retirement.

The value of his work as a professor and as a liaison between Germany and Canada can not be understated.

We extend our thanks to all the great speakers and panelists we got to hear over the course of the conference and hope you all had an insightful experience.

I was really happy to present Cinematic Train Journeys to the North online after I had to cancel my own train journey to Marburg!
