Due to the ongoing strike at the Hilton Lac-Leamy, CIMVHR Forum 2023 will now be taking place at the Palais des congrès de Gatineau. Our room block for the event will remain at The Hilton Lac-Lemay. Busses will be provided throughout the event to take you to and from the Hilton and Palais des congrès. We thank you for your patience while we make this transition, and we will continue to update you as we move forward with planning.

Thank you – The CIMVHR Forum Planning Team
