ADHD Facts, Fun in Toronto CADDAC Conference May 30-31

ADHD in Canada

I (Gina Pera) am eagerly anticipating CADDAC’s first-ever Two-Day ADHD Conference & Comedy Night— ADHD: ALL IN THE FAMILY. (That’s right, a comedy night fund-raiser…what a concept!)
Please note: This event took place in 2019. But check out the Canadian non-profit that has long organized annual conferences: The Center for ADHD Awareness, Canada (CADDAC)

Featured Speaker: Dr. Russell Barkley

This is a great opportunity to learn from Dr. Russell Barkley, an internationally recognized authority on Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in children and adults.

Comedy Night

CADDAC hosts the Comedy Night Fund Raiser on Saturday, May 30, 2009, featuring Rick Green, from the Red Green Show and History Bites, as Master of Ceremonies and Patrick McKenna from Traders and the Red Green Show. The comedy troupe “The Gents” will be performing their entire 90 minute show Why Men Do What They Do.
