Montreal, Canada 2009

More than 1100 doctors of chiropractic and students from 38 countries were present for the World Federation of Chiropractic’s 10th Biennial Congress in Montreal, Quebec, Canada April 30 – May 2, hosted by the Canadian Chiropractic Association. This celebration of chiropractic began with an inspirational address from Canada’s 2008 Athlete of the Year Chantal Petitclerc who opened the event’s Academic Program including standing room only plenary sessions, research programs and technique workshops. Montreal’s setting created a socially dynamic environment of collaboration and leadership, linking numerous satellite meetings to the Congress, including the Association of Chiropractic Colleges, CCE International, the International Federation of Sports Chiropractic (FICS) and representatives of licensing boards worldwide.
