Number of Conferences that CICS was able to respond to in 2007-2008
In 2007-2008, CICS was able to serve all senior level federal-provincial-territorial and provincial-territorial meetings requested by our clients.
Number of Conferences Served by Non-Conference support personnel in CICS
Of the 86 conferences served in 2007-2008, one was served entirely by non-conference personnel (individuals employed in other sectors of the Secretariat but also trained to serve conferences). These individuals are called upon to assist Conference Services at specific times of the year when demand for CICS services reaches a peak period.
