Public Health Guidelines & COVID-19
For those attending the conference live in Victoria, the 2022 CWIM Conference will follow all local, regional and national public health guidelines. All attendees must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Masking and physical distancing measures may be required depending on public health recommendations at the time of the event.
Code of Conduct
All participants are expected to treat other attendees with respect, both online and in-person. Any disrespectful behaviour towards other attendees or event staff will not be tolerated and may result in expulsion from the event. Some discussions during our round table sessions may be quite personal and all attendees are expected to keep this information confidential.

Force Majeure
If the CWIM Conference Organizing committee determines that the conference cannot be held in-person due to COVID-19 (either due to Public Health guidelines or a large number of cancellations due to the COVID-19 situation worsening in Canada) all registrations will be automatically converted to virtual with the difference in registration fees refunded. The cancellation policy above will still apply. All workshops that can be converted to virtual will remain (with fee differences refunded). In-person workshops that cannot be converted to virtual will be refunded in full.
This also applies to any other unforeseen emergencies that would restrict the ability to hold an in-person conference including strike, lock-out, riots, insurrection, war, pandemic, natural disaster or weather emergency restricting travel, government-imposed lockdown, act of God.
