What To Expect

This is a relaxed, low-pressure check-in with colleagues from across the country. Bring your cat jokes, favorite emojis, fall teaching goals, and any hopes or anxieties about the new school year. We’ll share updates, swap ideas, and make space for whatever is on your mind.

Other Ways to Join In!

The CACE organization is now officially recognized as the Canada ACM SIGCSE Chapter. If you have not joined yet, join here.

Meanwhile, the CACE-27 conference is sponsored by CS-CAN rather than ACM, SIGCSE, or the Chapter… but we’re still very excited about the conference! We encourage you to submit and attend. The CFP for the conference is now open: https://cscan-infocan.ca/cace-2027/

]]>Annual Election Meeting at CACE-272026-07-20T19:00:00+00:002026-08-13T17:07:49+00:00https://cace.acm.org/blog/2026/07/20/cace-27-annual-election-meetingOur current slate of officers serving for one year was selected by the founding group of the Chapter. We’re looking forward to moving to membership-driven elections!

Every year, the Chapter holds elections for officers. Our first election meeting will be during the CS-CAN | INFO-CAN 1st Annual Conference of the Canadian Assocation for Computing Education conference, CACE-27, May 13–14 2027 at the University of Toronto, Mississauga. We encourage members to submit to the conference, review, and attend! However, all members will be welcome at the Chapter meeting held at the conference in-person (regardless of registration), and we will have online attendance available. We are also exploring online advance voting.

We will announce more details over the coming months, including the exact date/time, how to attend and vote online if desired, the positions available for elections and their terms, how to run for office, and the slate of candidates. To avoid changing the entire team at one time in future, we anticipate multi-year terms for officers, with initial terms staggered in length.
