MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Colleague,

On behalf of the Ontario Association of Gastroenterology (OAG) I would like to invite you, our members,
to attend the 13th Annual International Symposium on Liver and IBD Review at the Westin Trillium
House – Blue Mountain in Collingwood, Ontario. This year the symposium will be held on January 17 -19,
2020. We are looking forward to yet another great weekend of education, entertainment, and
socializing with colleagues and friends in this family-friendly setting.

The theme of this year’s symposium is “One Patient, Two Diseases.” Those of us who manage
inflammatory bowel disease and patients with liver disease have come to recognize that there are
some patients who suffer from both inflammatory bowel disease as well as liver diseases. In addition,
often patients undergoing treatment for inflammatory bowel disease are faced with risk factors for
liver disease and require pre-emptive management of the liver prior to initiating therapy for their
inflammatory bowel disease. There are numerous intricacies and approaches to keeping our patients
safe and provide the necessary treatments. Managing the complexities of two disease states in a
single patient requires expertise and experience that we plan to share with you.

We have maintained the same format as in previous years by spitting the Saturday program into
morning and late afternoon sessions and we will wind down the educational component on Sunday
morning with our Case Presentations. This family-friendly setting allows you the opportunity to enjoy
the winter activities offered here in Collingwood with your family and friends. We are all looking
forward to our President’s Throwback to the 80’s Party scheduled for Saturday evening. It will
showcase memorable foods and treats from the 80s that we grew up eating. We will also enjoy the
great music of the 80s to make it a very enjoyable and fun evening. To give the adults the opportunity
to enjoy the party, we have planned an evening of fun and frolic for the little ones.

This, along with our other events, give us a great opportunity to interact with our industry partners
and sponsors. It would not be possible to host this symposium without the unrestricted financial
support of our industry colleagues; please take some time to chat with them and thank them for their
support of the OAG

Warm regards,

ONTARIO ASSOCIATION OF GASTROENTEROLOGY

CANCELLATION AND NO-SHOW POLICY
Non-Cancellation Will Cost You...
Did you know that as an OAG member, if you register for the OAG Symposium, but do not attend, your
non-attendance costs the OAG approximately $1,000 (Hotel accommodation, breakfasts, dinners, nutrition
breaks and administration? The OAG office is required to give guarantees to the hotel/venue at least four (4)
business days prior to the beginning of any Symposium. Therefore, by giving meal number guarantees you
are included in the hotel room count and meal numbers for the entire Symposium unless you notify our office,
within the time specified, that you are cancelling your registration. It is the fiduciary responsibility of the Board
of Directors to ensure that the OAG’s monies are spent wisely.

The OAG has implemented a policy for Symposium delegates – it is mandatory that you provide a valid credit card number
to register for the Symposium and specific events. Your credit card will not be charged unless you do not attend and
neglect to notify the OAG office by the cancellation deadline (as indicated on the registration form.) The amount
that will be charged to your credit card is the fee for one night’s hotel accommodation and your meals – approx-
imately $1,000.

If you need to cancel your registration, please refer to the Symposium registration form and contact the OAG
office - you will receive a cancellation number as your validation.
Raffle Tickets, Raffle Tickets!

             Symposium for an opportunity to
             win fantastic prizes!
             Investing in a child’s future is an easy task with much reward. Not only are
             you helping to fight hunger in our own backyard, but also you will be helping
             to free children and their families from poverty and physical and emotional
             abuse. Hunger and abuse can undermine healthy growth and development
             and leave their mark across the lifespan. Your small investment in a child’s
             life has a powerful impact. Participate in our raffle for a chance to win a prize,
             that will be drawn at the OAG President’s Throwback To The 80’s Party.
             Proceeds from this raffle will be donated to Second Harvest Food Bank.
