As a team, you will have the opportunity to listen to their stories and engage with them through a team-based question-and-answer session. Please uphold privacy and confidentiality.

Here is a map of the Bannatyne campus: [cid:image002.png@01DD447C.6285EB00] Reminder: In advance of the learning activity, you should have completed the UML online module introducing collaborative team-based care.

Opening Assembly Guests
by Melanie Froese 09 Sep '26

09 Sep '26

Hello, I've had some frequent questions about guests and tickets. There are no tickets to purchase for the event, and no set limit of guests you can invite. We just need to keep in mind that there are 60 students and limited space in Brodie Atrium. My suggestion would be that parents/siblings/partners get floor seating; friends and extended family (aunts/uncles/cousins) take additional seating on the 2nd floor of Brodie (actually best view of the stage). The 3rd floor area is also open maybe not the best view as its from the side. We understand that you want your family and friends at this pivotal event, please fill out the form (link below) to let me know how many people you are brining so we can hopefully accommodate everyone.
