Supporting knowledge exchange among public health professionals and others working in our communities is vital to CPHA’s commitment to health equity, social justice and evidence-informed decision-making.

We encourage the participation of diverse communities in our national conference and understand that funding for professional development/conference attendance can be difficult to obtain. To support your participation in the conference, special registration rates have been established for delegates who:

• Self-identify as First Nations, Inuit or Métis;
• Work or volunteer for a First Nations, Inuit or Métis community-based organization with limited professional development/conference attendance funds; or
• Work or volunteer for a community-based organization with limited professional development/conference attendance funds.

Access to these special registration rates is based on the honour system; we ask that you respect the criteria established for each rate. If you have questions regarding these rates, please contact conference@cpha.ca.

Group Registration

We are pleased to offer a discount to organizations registering five (5) or more employees. Student, Community, and daily rates are not eligible for a discount but can be counted towards the minimum number of registrations. 

Pricing is per person and individual registrations must be completed for each participant. The sharing of badges is not permitted.

Contact the Conference Department at conference@cpha.ca to initiate the group registration process.
