Upcoming Events Past Events
WESTAC organizes two all-Member forums each year. The Annual and Semi-Annual Meetings are topical, in-camera sessions which allow participants to freely discuss issues of importance to the Western Canadian transportation community. They feature high profile speakers and allow for lively exchanges of ideas and opinion, as well as provide opportunities to meet informally with senior industry representatives and decision makers.

Smaller events such as dinner meetings for Members and newly appointed Ministers are arranged when appropriate.

The Council organizes and facilitates seminars and workshops on topics of importance to a particular sector. Larger conferences which include both Members and the wider community are organized and chaired by the Council. Topics can be of broad interest or more focused.
