The CHA hosts an annual meeting in May/June in coordination with the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences which is held in a different Canadian city each year.  Between 350-500 historians gather to share their research on themes representing the full diversity of the discipline and to network with colleagues.  Presenters must be members of the society.   The CHA offers travel grants to allow students and the precariously employed to attend the annual meeting.

The theme of the 2022 meeting is "Reconsidering History".   The meeting will be a virtual online event.
