Emergency medicine is increasingly under the public spotlight, and advocacy is becoming part of everyday practice.

Join plenary speakers Drs. Alan Drummond and Blair Bigham as they unpack what it really means to speak up in today’s media environment.

💬“We’ve all seen the headlines. We all admire the quotes. But how do we have impact when EM hits the front page? There’s a sense that we are dying of a thousand paper cuts. We’ll discuss tactics that work to engage the public, and those who control the public purse, when tragedy strikes the ED.” - Dr. Bigham

From narrative strategy to risk management, this plenary offers practical tools for meaningful public engagement.

🗓 Sunday, June 7, 2026
🕘 9:15–10:15 AM
📍 Hall C, RBC Convention Centre Winnipeg

The tragedy in Tumbler Ridge sparked national conversations about gun access and mental health. But there’s another issue we can’t ignore.

What happens when emergency departments in rural Canada aren’t open?

Closures are becoming normalized in small communities, where access to care is already fragile. In Tumbler Ridge, residents have already experienced the consequences. In one case, a patient died while being transported to the nearest available hospital hours away.

Rural emergency care is not a luxury. It’s a lifeline.
