Meetings
A key function of the Consortium is to serve as a platform for participants, organizing meetings and events on a regular cycle to help facilitate communication, cooperation and collaboration across jurisdictional lines for the greater Hudson Bay and James Bay marine region and its ecosystem. Currently, the Consortium organizes a large Summit (approximately 250 participants) every 4 years, two smaller Roundtables (approximately 125 participants) between each Summit, and virtual meetings for the Steering Committee and each Working Group several times each year.
