WORLD FEDERATION OF CHIROPRACTIC’S 10TH BIENNIAL CONGRESS The World Federation of Chiropractic’s 10th Biennial Congress, co-sponsored by the Canadian Chiropractic Association, will be held at the elegant Hilton Bonaventure Hotel in one of the world’s most exciting cities – Montreal, Quebec, Canada, famed for its style, cuisine, arts community and night life. The dates are April 30 to May 2, 2009. Recent WFC congresses have been in Portugal, Spain (2007); Sydney, Australia (2005); and Orlando, Florida (2003). This is the first WFC Congress in Canada since 1991 (Toronto). During the past six months, a planning committee with repre- sentatives from the WFC, CCA, and other organizations has devel- oped and confi rmed the main elements of the academic and social programs, which are expected to attract more than 1,000 doctors of chiropractic from over 40 countries. You will not want to miss this unique program and this opportunity to celebrate chiropractic with old and new colleagues from around the world. To register for any of these seminars, contact The Orthotic Group at 1-800-551-3008. 2008 SEMINARS THE ORTHOTIC GROUP seminars are an excellent way for healthcare professionals to gain a deeper understanding of custom orthotic therapy, lower limb biomechanics and gait analysis. In celebration of TOG’s 20th Anniversary, we launched our first ever SUPER SEMINAR in Markham in September 2006. This seminar was a resounding success! The congress theme is “Celebrating Chiropractic in the 21st Cen- tury” and there will be strong content on each of the science, philos- ophy and art of chiropractic. Mornings of this three-day conference will feature plenary lecture sessions, afternoons will feature a choice of many concurrent technique workshops and other panels and presentations, including the best new original research from the profession. Just some of the many topics covered in the program are: • Management of seniors and youth – including quality of life and prevention strategies for seniors • Sports chiropractic – Confi rmed speakers include Jack Taunton, MD, Chief Medical Offi cer, and Robert Armitage, DC, Manager Chi- ropractic Services, Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games • Integration and collaboration – with speakers from North Amer- ica, Europe and elsewhere, describing new practice opportunities and realities • Important new clinical research for practising DCs – in diverse areas such as spinal pain, headache, hypertension, biomechanics, etc. Opening speaker for the congress will be Dr. Scott Haldeman, President, BJD Neck Pain Task Force, summarizing the new model of neck pain in the Task Force’s recently published report, and what this means for practising chiropractors. Highlights of the social program include a Wednesday night recep- tion the evening before the Congress commences, a Thursday night “cultural night” with dinner and show, and a Saturday night gala banquet and dance. Mark those dates now – April 30 to May 2, 2009 – and prepare to attend the most complete, high-quality, and exciting chiropractic meeting ever held in Canada.
