Founded 1967
The principal objectives of the Canadian Society for the Study of Names (CSSN) are to promote the study of all aspects of names and naming in Canada and elsewhere, as well as the exchange of ideas among onomatologists, toponymists and scholars in the related fields of literary onomastics and linguistic aspects of names.
2007 Meeting of the Canadian Society for the Study of Names
The Society is a member of the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences (CFHSS or FedCan) and traditionally holds its annual meeting in conjunction with the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences (formerly the Learned Societies). At the meeting, members may present papers in formal theme sessions, participate in a toponymic fieldtrip and attend the annual general meeting of the Society.
The 2007 (41st) meeting will be held at University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on Saturday, May 26 and Sunday May 27, 2007.
