On behalf of the Canadian Society for the Study of Names, also known as la Société canadienne d'onomastuqie, we welcome you. The purpose of our society is to promote in Canada the study of all aspects of names, which are significant as both identity markers and as landmarks. The evolution of values and social awareness in Canada in recent years reveals more and more clearly the importance of names and the major issues surrounding them.

We invite you most warmly to join us in our conference meeting on Saturday, May 29, 2021 and Sunday, May 30, 2021. Please note that as the 2020 annual conference was cancelled due to COVID-19, all papers accepted last year will automatically be accepted for our 2021 conference.
