When: Tuesday, June 29, 2010 - 08:00 – 14:00

Where: Halifax, Edmonton, Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto

This cross-country roundtable series brought together relevant stakeholders across all sectors (private, public, health research and health interest groups) to discuss the principles, purpose and viable models for public engagement in HTAs and coverage decisions in Canada. The series served to draw out the current and emerging initiatives across Canada, and set some parameters for public engagement in HTA in all Canadian jurisdictions.

The series consisted of roundtables with 20-25 participants held in four locations which brought together local perspectives and experiences:

• Halifax - April 21
Edmonton - June 2
Vancouver - June 3
• Montreal - June 15

The series was capped with a day-long event in Toronto on June 29th which brought together perspectives from across Canada and presented some international experiences.
