Join Us in Banff
October 14-16, 2021
After careful consideration and surveying past participants of the Forum, the Small Practitioners’ Forum Planning Committee is excited to provide a hybrid Forum this year, with the option to attend in-person or virtually.
The committee is committed to your safety and will continue to monitor the Health and Safety guidelines outlined by Alberta Health Services, the Town of Banff, and the Alberta Government. If restrictions change before October 14, 2021, we will communicate any updates or changes to you.
To minimize transmission risk to all on-site attendees, the COVID-19 guidelines below will be strictly adhered to.
