On August 30, 2024, an ad hoc meeting took place at Dalhousie University's Agricultural campus in Truro, Nova Scotia, involving the council members of the society. Dr. Manick Annamalai, Vice President-Technical, and Dr. Senthilkumar Thirupathi, Treasurer, engaged in detailed discussions with Dr. Travis Esau, President. The primary focus of their conversation centered on identifying and implementing strategic approaches to enhance the society's fundraising efforts. This initiative is seen as critical for sustaining and expanding the society's activities. In addition to fundraising, the group also evaluated potential locations for hosting the society's Annual Meeting in 2027, ensuring that the chosen venue would be capable of supporting the event's scale and significance.
