We are proud to announce that the

Canadian Lymphedema Framework Assembly 2027: Canada Connects will be held at Dalhousie University

in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Dalhousie University provides the perfect backdrop for CLFA2027. Set in the vibrant coastal city of Halifax, Nova Scotia, the campus offers an environment that inspires meaningful connection, fresh perspectives, and forward-thinking dialogue—creating an ideal setting for open and collaborative conversations about the future of lymphedema care, research, advocacy, and community in Canada and beyond.

We look forward to bringing our community together

in a space designed to foster curiosity, creativity,

and collaboration.

This Assembly will mark a new chapter for the Canadian Lymphedema Framework — one built on collaboration, shared leadership, and meaningful dialogue.

Rather than a traditional conference with a pre-set agenda and scheduled presentations, CLFA2027 will be designed as an Open Space Technology Meeting: a dynamic, participant-driven experience where attendees help shape the conversations, priorities, and outcomes in real time.

The outcomes of this Assembly will help inform and influence the strategic direction of the Canadian Lymphedema Framework for years to come.

This approach creates space for authentic dialogue, diverse perspectives, and innovative thinking — empowering participants to actively contribute to the future direction of lymphedema care, advocacy, education, and research in Canada.
