Adapting to change,
from the ground up.
Atlantic Canada's premier conference on erosion and sediment control returns to Moncton. Share your project, your research, or your hard-won lessons with the practitioners building resilient infrastructure across the region.
9:00 AM – 6:30 PM
Downtown Moncton, NB
CANIECA — the Canadian Chapter of the International Erosion Control Association — invites practitioners, researchers, municipalities, consultants, contractors, regulators, and industry leaders to submit abstracts for the 2026 CANIECA Atlantic Canada Erosion & Sediment Control Conference.
The Moncton conference is part of CANIECA's growing national conference series, and the region's dedicated forum for the people who plan, build, and inspect erosion and sediment control work on the ground.
As communities face increasing pressure from climate change, aging infrastructure, rapid development, and evolving regulatory requirements, ESC professionals play a critical role in building infrastructure that protects both environment and community.
