One Assembly.

Two connected experiences.

One shared purpose.

May 13-15, 2027 | Dalhousie University Campus | Halifax, Nova Scotia

Registration for the Assembly will open October 1, 2026

CLFA2027: Canada Connects is a three-day Assembly taking place May 13-15 at Dalhousie University in Halifax.

Day 1: May 13

Lymphedema Lead Day: Learn, Explore, Ask, Discover.

Days 2-3: May 14-15

Open Space Forum: Together, We Shape What's Next.

Day 1: May 13, 2027

Lymphedema LEAD Day brings registered Assembly participants together for a full day of learning, discovery, and connection, featuring our interactive Lymphedema Learning & Resource Hub, which also welcomes the public free of charge from 12-6 pm.

Whether you are living with lymphedema, supporting someone who is, working in health care, studying, conducting research, or simply interested in learning more, you’ll be able to explore practical resources, ask questions, learn from trusted sources, and connect with people and organizations from across Canada’s lymphedema community.

Days 2-3: May 14-15, 2027

With the connections and shared learning of LEAD Day setting the stage, CLFA2027 moves into a dynamic, two-day Open Space Forum on May 14-15.

Guided by a professional facilitator, registered participants create the agenda together, explore what matters most, and identify shared priorities and possibilities.

Join the conversations that interest you most, propose a topic of your own, move freely between discussions, or simply listen and learn. There is no single right way to participate – and no presentation, special expertise, or prepared solution is required.

Who Should Join the Assembly?

Improving lymphedema care takes all of us. Whether your expertise comes from lived experience, professional practice, research, education, policy, innovation, or storytelling, you’ll find a place in the conversation.

• People living with lymphedema, families, caregivers, and care partners
• Clinicians, compression fitters, and other health professionals
• Researchers, educators, academic leaders, and students
• Policy-makers, funders, insurers, and health-system leaders
• Industry partners, suppliers, and innovators
• Journalists, advocates, volunteers, and community leaders

Together, we can help build a more connected, collaborative, and forward-looking Canadian lymphedema community.
