Partners
Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research (CIMVHR)
With over 60,000 serving members in the Canadian Armed Forces, 25,000 serving members in the Primary Reserve Forces, almost 70,000 military family members, and over 700,000 veterans, Canada has a significant population with distinct risks, exposures and experiences. These Canadians require unique forms of health protection, prevention and care.
For 7 Years CIMVHR has worked to engage existing academic research resources, facilitate new research, increase research capacity and foster knowledge translation.
This work is showcased each year when thought leaders from these sectors gather at CIMVHR Forum to present new research, exchange ideas, share insights, learn and collaborate.
As the official Research Partner of Invictus Games Toronto 2017, this will be an unprecedented year for the CIMVHR Forum. CIMVHR is advancing health research to serve our troops and their families and, in perfect complement, Invictus Games 2017 is celebrating and recognizing the unconquered spirit of these same men and women.
