From now on, the Symposium will alternate from Québec City and Montreal, every other year. So in 2009 it will be in Montreal and will come back to Québec City in 2011 then back again in Montreal in 2013. This is because from a local organization, it is now a “National” activity for the whole province of Québec, following its adoption as official scientific meeting by the Société pour la prévention et la réadaptation cardio-pulmonaire du Québec (SPRCP) “Society for Prevention and Rehabilitation of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Disease in Québec”.
