Brain Tumour Information Days 2009

Following the diagnosis of a brain tumour, many people – both patients and family members – seek out as much information as possible. Brain Tumour Information Days are one resource of both quality and diversity of information. This series of patient and healthcare conferences feature the latest developments in the field of brain tumour treatment and research. Medical professionals, researchers and survivors from across the country will share information and their experiences.

In 2009, Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada presents three conferences: Halifax, London and Calgary. Each offers a welcome and recognition reception on the Friday evening, and a full day of presentations, workshops, community resource fair, and a Kids Konference on Saturday.
