Can we take a second to applaud U of T, Western University & the University of Ottawa for announcing that vaccination will be mandatory for all students, faculty & staff? Remember where we were just 48 hours ago. #COVID19

Looking for a place to publish a reworked version of your conference paper? Consider the IASPM Journal, as an open source publication of IASPM member contributions.
Thank you to everyone involved in the IASPM Canada conference this year, especially Heather Sparling and Chris McDonald for organising our first virtual event, and of course all the amazing presenters. There's so much exciting and innovative research being done in our community!

There are two types of people: those who believe in doing what’s best for everyone even if it means personal sacrifice, and those who see their own inconvenience as unacceptable no matter what.
What’s one thing you learned this year that will stick with you for the rest of your life?
