CANadian Virtual Astronomy Seminar Series (CANVAS)

CANVAS is a virtual seminar series intended to allow Canadian researchers to share their work with the rest of the Canadian astronomy research community.

The ‘Link’ column in the table below will either be a link to the Zoom meeting for the seminar, or a link to the recorded talk on YouTube for those talks that have already occurred,

There is also a YouTube Channel for the CANVAS series
