Important Update – PEER North 2025 Postponed

The PEER North 2025 Medical Conference has been postponed.
After careful consideration and consultation with our partners, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s event. While we were looking forward to gathering in Yellowknife, registration numbers did not reach the level needed to host the event responsibly.

We hope to return in 2026 and will share updates as plans evolve.

If you have any questions, please contact us at peernorthinfo@gmail.com.
