The CAS Presidential Interviews Project aims to document the lives and contributions of the past presidents of the Society. These individuals, in holding the highest office of the Society, have had major impacts on the evolution of CAS and have been vocal proponents for anesthesia practice in Canada and beyond. The first set of interview transcripts were released in the summer of 2023, marking the 80th anniversary of the founding of CAS. Contributors to the Presidential Interviews Project include members of the Archives & Artifacts Committee (Drs. Michael Wong, Garrett Barry, Daniel Chartrand, Étienne de Medici, Justine Denomme, Karim Mukhida, Wesley Rajaleelan, Sonya Soh), consultant Dr Sue Ferreira as well as a dedicated medical student volunteer Dr. Amy Liu who embarked on residency training in psychiatry.
