Welcome everyone to the 2018 Annual Educational Conference for Coroners and Pathologists. We are pleased to offer an agenda that is not only timely and relevant, but one that will be sure to generate much discussion and learning.

Over the next three days we will be offering presentations on Ontario’s opioid deaths from a medical, law enforcement and public health perspective. We will also focus on gang violence and firearm-related deaths followed by deaths related to the elderly and the pathology of elder abuse. We will be welcoming an array of knowledgeable guest speakers and will be offering ample opportunities for panel discussions and specific case presentations –back by popular demand.

It is our hope that this interactive and integrated curriculum will provide everyone with new and thoughtful information to enhance your investigative techniques. Thank you for attending and we wish everyone an enjoyable and fruitful learning experience.
