TSFC NATIONAL CONFERENCE
Four Winds, Changing Lives and Perceptions
Edmonton - September 14 to 16, 2006

2006 is the 30th Anniversary of the Tourette Syndrome Foundation of Canada!

To mark the occasion the TS National Conference has been expanded to include:

- a family program which includes a dynamic, interactive children's program,
- a track for adults with TS,
- a day for educators, and
- a medical symposium.

Families and adults with TS will get practical advice and inspiration from the many speakers, workshops and social events.  They will return home energized with new knowledge and new friends.  Professionals who support those with TS will get training and insight from top experts in the field and have an opportunity to network with others who share similar challenges.

The Edmonton Chapter of the TSFC is proud to host this year's conference.

Please go to Tourette Syndrome Foundation of Canada for more details.

Please join us for our Annual General Meeting and an opportunity to view Tourette Syndrome Foundation of Canada’s new video productions on Wednesday, June 7th at 6:45 pm at the Academy at King Edward, 8525-101 Street (North entrance).
