Recovery Redefined
The Western Canada Addiction Forum was built on introducing addiction medicine providers to novel clinical practices that promote positive change in your practice for Monday.
This Group Learning program has been reviewed by the College of Family Physicians of Canada and has been certified by the British Columbia Chapter for up to 12.75 Mainpro+ credits.
For over 10 years, WCAF has honored our humble provincial beginnings as we have grown to reach all of Western Canada and beyond.
Our strong foundation consists of open, honest, and inclusive dialogue that fosters innovation in not only treatment methods, but in the lenses we use when engaging with those experiencing substance use disorders.

We discuss some concerns stemming from people with lived experience and their family members.

Reconciliation Comes First
The Western Canadian Addictions Forum would like to acknowledge the land on which we gather is the unceded territory of the Syilx (Okanagan) Peoples. The Syilx Okanagan and Secwepemc peoples have taken care of their homelands for thousands of years.
WCAF is respectful of the Syilx Okanagan and Secwepemc peoples, their knowledge, language, and history, as well as their ongoing relationship to the land and natural world.
