Please come to Toronto to celebrate the 75 th. anniversary of neurosurgery
in Canada.
In 1923, Dr. Kenneth G. McKenzie began his practice of neurosurgery at
Toronto General Hospital as the first career neurosurgeon in Canada. The
organizing committee has planned an outstanding scientific program which
includes international and Canadian experts in all the fields of neurological
surgery.
The Faculty of the Division of Neurosurgery at the University of Toronto
extends an invitation to neurosurgeons from around the world to participate
in this celebration. A special invitation is extended to alumnae who were
residents or fellows at the University of Toronto. A social program is planned,
and spouses and accompanying guests are most welcome.
