InfoSessions

Throughout the year in cities across Canada, Myeloma Canada hosts InfoSessions for people living with myeloma, their loved ones, and healthcare professionals. InfoSessions feature guest speakers from the local medical community and are generally half-day sessions covering many aspects of living with, and managing, myeloma.

Meet & Greets

Our Meet & Greet activities are the perfect opportunity to meet and exchange with others living with, or caring for someone with myeloma from your local community. Learn the latest developments in myeloma research and symptom management from local experts.

If you are living in an area that doesn’t yet have a local support group, our Meet & Greets serve as a perfect first point of contact, bringing together those impacted by myeloma. Very often, they are the springboard from which a support group will be formed.
