“Survival Skills for Success in the new Millennium; it’s a jungle out there!”

The Brain Injury Association of Canada (BIAC) is holding its 4th Annual Conference at the Villa Saint-Martin located at 9451, Gouin West Blvd. in Pierrefonds near Montreal.

Founded in 2003, BIAC’s mandate is to improve the quality of life for all Canadians affected by brain injury as well as facilitate education and promote prevention.

Our organization is made up of brain injury survivors, their families, medical professionals, community leaders and other interested professionals. We also work in collaboration with provincial brain injury associations across the country and other organizations working with a similar mandate.

Skills for surviving every day life are the theme for this year’s conference, with a continued focus on prevention. For the brain injury community across this country this requires a very special and specific skill set. This year our focus will be on surviving everyday life as a brain injury survivor, caregiver, family member, friend of a survivor, service deliverer and professional. We will examine just what it takes not only to survive life but also to do it effectively.

We would be delighted to have you as a participant to hear about your views on the subject of acquired brain injury. It would be a good occasion to meet other survivors and make new friends.

Mireille Provost, President
