Canadian Society for Horticultural
Science Société Canadienne

de Science Horticole

Founded in 1956, the Canadian Society for Horticultural Science – Société Canadienne de
Science Horticole (CSHS-SCSH) is a professional society devoted to fostering, promoting and
encouraging research and education in all branches of horticultural science in Canada. With a
countrywide representation, our members are from a variety of horizons: scientists, educators,
students, extension agents and industry personnel involved in research, teaching, information
and technology related to all fields of horticulture.

Current Executive Board (2023-2025)
Due to the diversity of horticulture production in Canada, one of the priorities of the CSHS is to
have a pan-Canadian representation on its board of directors. The current Secretary is covering
the roles of Secretary and Northern representing regions of Canada. Therefore, the CSHS
Executive board is looking for a Northern Representative to cover the Northern regions of
Canada.

While we practice a progression within the board based on need, our members are encouraged
to submit their candidacy to any currently position available. In fact, CSHS will renew its board
members in summer 2025, and we are currently recruiting for a representative for the
Northern region. Terms are for 2 years with the possibility of 2 consecutive terms in the same
position. Please contact the CSHS secretary (Julie.lajeunesse@agr.gc.ca) if you are interested
in the Northern Representative position or any upcoming vacant positions in 2025.
