IBCWG Town Hall
The Chairs of the 2022 IBCWG meeting Dr. Valerie Waters, Dr. Liz Tullis and Dr. Silvia Cardona are considering options towards the next IBCWG Meeting (cancelled in 2020 and 2021) due to the COVID pandemics. Chairs and IBCWG members were hoping to have an IBCWG meeting in Toronto in April of 2022. Unfortunately, the Omicron variant made planning very difficult. Canada is now recovering from the Omicron wave and the country is moving slowly to lift travel and gathering restrictions. However, we are still facing a lot of uncertainty.
Dr. Silvia Cardona is calling for Town Hall Meetings to gather opinions about the situation. The meetings will be held on Zoom. If you want to attend and have not received the information, please email Dr. Cardona to obtain the corresponding link.
