Hello OntWIG members!

Welcome back after some time off since our last Symposium in April.  If you haven't read the 8th Annual Symposium proceedings, please find them linked below to refresh your memory.

Thanks to everyone who participated in OntWIG's 8th Annual Symposium and helped us celebrate 10 years!  It was a wonderful chance to connect and learn more about how far we have come in advocating for wound care in Ontario. We are very grateful for all the interdisciplinary members who were able to participate with us, as well as industry sponsors. 

Please read over the proceedings document to learn more about what happened at the symposium and what you missed out on!  

Hello members!

We are counting down the days (2 days to be exact!) before we see you at our 8th Annual Symposium at The Doctor's House (21 Nashville Rd, Kleinburg, ON L0J 1C0)

If you haven't registered it is not too late!  You can register online here: https://ontwig.ca/8th-annual-symposium/ OR register at the door on the day of the event.
