Colloquiumfest, Saskatoon, March 2001, the
Third Annual Colloquiumfest,
Saskatoon, March 2002 and the
Fourth Annual Colloquiumfest,
Saskatoon, March 2003 (together with Salma Kuhlmann and Murray
Marshall).

CMS Summer 2001
Meeting in Saskatoon, and organized a Special Session on Model
Theoretic Algebra (together with Bradd Hart and Salma Kuhlmann).
- Colloquiumfest in honour of
the 60th Birthday of Murray Marshall, Saskatoon, March 2000
