CORRECTION: The webinar, Collectors Corner, is taking place on Thursday, June 26 — not June 25 as originally advertised.
As part of its lead-up to this summer’s Royal Canadian Numismatic Association (RCNA) Convention, the RCNA Education Committee is rolling out a dynamic six-part online symposium that kicks off June 24.
Hosted by the Calgary Numismatic Society, the 2025 RCNA Convention will run in person from July 15–19 in Calgary, Alta., but the excitement begins weeks earlier with a series of engaging and accessible online Zoom presentations—free and open to all collectors.
“This year’s virtual line-up offers something for everyone,” said France Waychison, chair of the RCNA Education Committee. “We’re especially excited to introduce new sessions, including one dedicated to numismatic literacy and another presented entirely in French for our francophone members.”
