Every year in July, the program hosts a barbeque for all residents, fellows, and staff people for the incoming PGY1’s.

You will attend an annual retreat organized by the program. This 2-day overnight event includes various wellness, team building, and leadership activities.

The program hosts a holiday lunch prior to the break in December. In past years, this has been hosted at various restaurants or resident homes in Hamilton and has included lunch and a Secret Santa gift exchange. Last year, we all participated in a virtual escape room!

Each June, the program hosts dinner at the Ancaster Mill to celebrate the graduation of the PGY5 residents and to thank all of you for your contributions to the program over the past year. The evening includes resident awards as well as awards given out by the residents to staff who have made significant contributions to education.
