Scientists, doctors and survivors are coming to Kelowna in June to discuss brain injuries.

Delivered in the style of a TEDx conference, BrainTrust Canada’s yearly symposium will be held on June 6 at the Ramada Hotel.

Among the topics addressed will be concussion, mental health, workplace injuries, the effects of cannabis and addiction.

Keynote speaker Martin Parnell will also discuss being diagnosed with a rare blood clot on his brain that left him unable to walk.

Audience members will also hear from a client of the BrainTrust who was injured after crashing his quad.

Pushor Mitchell LLP is sponsoring the event.

“With our firm’s personal injury work, we understand the impact of brain injury on the survivor and their loved ones, and we value the work BrainTrust does in our community to assist those living with brain injury as well as bring awareness to the importance of prevention especially for youth who are at the greatest risk,” Paul Mitchell explained.

The early bird ticket price is $139, with general admission costing $199.
