HealthCamp Toronto

Join us at HealthCamp Toronto on Sept. 16, 2009!

HealthCamp Toronto will use the “unconference” format to create a safe place for contrarians, free thinkers, change agents and idea entrepreneurs. It is the first healthcamp in Canada, modeled after the globally renowned healthcamp movement begun in San Francisco, Boston, and Philadelphia.
