FEEFHS held a western regional conference in Calgary, Alberta, on Tuesday, July 25, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. This was during the week of the annual convention of the AHSGR (American Historical Society of Germans from Russia) but before the beginning of any AHSGR programs. The conference was held at the Calgary Multicultural Center, 712 5th Street, about 4 blocks from the site of the AHSGR convention.
