Social events

Please join us for a glass of cheer and help us celebrate the 2016 COS Annual Meeting. These events are great opportunities to network with our international speakers, special guests, sponsors, and exhibitors. Renew old acquaintances and make new friends with colleagues from across Canada.



Welcome reception

Friday, June 17, 1800-1900
Parliament Foyer, Shaw Centre

The Welcome Reception at the Shaw Centre in the Parliament Foyer overlooks the Parliament buildings and Rideau Canal. Enjoy these spectacular views, while renewing ties with old friends and colleagues. The COS Uninsured Services report will be distributed at this event and you will want to be among the first to receive a copy. The field of ophthalmology is known and well respected for its innovation. The valuation of uninsured services will be an excellent tool and a resource to our members.
