Program Partner: OECM

Even if you've never attended an EKO Spring Symposium before, the Opening Night Reception has the welcoming feel of a reunion. This special event marks the conclusion of Day 1, and offers a vibrant celebration for all delegates.

Enjoy an evening of entertainment, food and drinks as you mix and mingle in the Provincial Ballroom overlooking the beautiful gardens at the Toronto Sheraton Centre.

Meet the 2025 EKO Tribute Award recipients, introduced by Dr. Laverne Jacobs, Canada’s first-ever representative on the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and University of Windsor Law Professor.

This is an excellent chance to share impressions and reflect on the first day of the in-person #EKOSS25.
