Crossroads Interdisciplinary Health Research Conference
6230 South St Halifax, NS, Canada

We regret to inform you that unfortunately due to developments in the COVID-19 situation, we are cancelling the 2020 Crossroads Conference. According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, "the risk of COVID-19 may be increased for certain settings such as: cruise ships, heavily affected areas, international conference and other large gatherings in enclosed spaces". We are also aware that other universities are restricting travel for their students. We feel at this time that... we cannot put people in unnecessary risk and as such have made the difficult decision to cancel the conference. We will be issuing refunds to all attendees but please be patient as it may take a few days to receive the money. Please contact us with any further questions. We are very saddened by this choice but we believe this is the best option based on the situation.
