PCN Strategic Forum 2022

Following a two-year absence, the PCN Strategic Forum was held in-person November 25-26, 2022, in Edmonton. The theme of this year's Forum was Purpose, Unity & Hope. Forum provided opportunities to connect with colleagues from across the province, and learn about innovative ideas.
