The Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research (CIMVHR) forum 2026 is the annual flagship conference bringing together researchers, clinicians, policymakers, students, veterans, military personnel, and others focused on advancing evidence-informed health research that improves the lives of Canada's military, veterans and their families. Over three days, attendees will exchange insights, present emerging research, share best practices, and build collaborations across disciplines that support health, well-being, and care for military and veteran communities.

Join us for an evening of engaging, story-driven presentations about chronic pain and the future of pain care.

At Hamilton Voices for Pain, dynamic speakers from healthcare, research, and the chronic pain community will share thought-provoking talks about how we understand and manage chronic pain. Hear about the latest research, practical tools, and real-world experiences that are helping shape the future of pain care.

🍿 Food and refreshments will be provided.

🌺 Poppy donation: Please bring cash if you would like to make a donation. The Royal Canadian Legion will be on site with poppy donation boxes.

This event is hosted by the Chronic Pain Centre of Excellence for Canadian Veterans, in collaboration with the Michael G. DeGroote Pain Clinic and the Michael G. DeGroote Institute for Pain Research and Care.
