National Indigenous Peoples Day

patricia.blajan@mcgill.ca — Sun, 21 Jun 2026 04:00:00 +0000

Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day—a time to recognize and celebrate the traditions, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis.

We encourage you to take some time to learn more about First Nations, Inuit and Métis as well as our collective past. The best way to do this is through their own voices. We’ve selected books by Indigenous authors from our book collection on Indigenous health.

Stop by in person at Room 354 (3rd floor) at the Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital) to borrow our physical books.

June is Myasthenia Gravis Awareness Month

sabrina.burr@mail.mcgill.ca — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 17:59:29 +0000

To mark Myasthenia Gravis Awareness Month, we are pleased to present a new educational brochure on myasthenia gravis for newly diagnosed individuals and their loved ones.

The idea for this resource arose from a discussion between a patient with myasthenia gravis and Maxime Grenier, a master’s student in physical therapy at 91��, during which Maxime noted a lack of resources and support for people living with this condition.

The Info-Neuro cart schedule for June is now available!
