This page lists upcoming conferences in Canada which relate to people living with disabilities. The list includes conferences directed towards people with disabilities and their families as well as those directed more towards health care professionals or information specialists. The CHN Living with Disabilities Affiliate provides displays at many disability-related conferences by setting up a live Internet connection to the CHN website and demonstrating how to find the information of relevance to visitors. We are interested in finding out about other conferences like these. To submit conference information, or to make any corrections or additions to this list, send an email to Philip Kiff.
