On November 20, 2024, during the Canadian Science Policy Conference, CBRS convened coalition leaders and partners from across research, health charities, patient groups, funders, and industry for a Strategic Retreat in Ottawa.
The retreat brought together diverse voices from across the brain and mental health ecosystem to reflect on progress to date and chart the path ahead. CBRS shared updates on ongoing initiatives — including Indigenous-led priorities — and outlined next steps for advancing the national strategy.
The afternoon underscored the value of gathering the coalition in one place: creating space for connections across sectors and building momentum for the future of brain health and research in Canada.
