Message from the CEO

We are very excited to welcome both past and present attendees, who have made impactful contributions to research, our institute, and each other.

Nichola Wigle

Acting CEO, Children’s Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba

We are thrilled to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Child Health Research Days (CHRD)! It’s a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community and celebrate the vast knowledge that has been gained and shared over the past two decades through the Children’s Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba’s flagship event.

Mentorship has been a cornerstone of CHRD, supporting both new and experienced investigators and trainees in presenting their work and sharing their research programs with all of us. Each year, I am continually impressed by the quality of research and the presentations that emerge, showcasing the incredible efforts being made to advance the health of children in Manitoba and everywhere.

We have had the privilege of welcoming experts from across the globe to Manitoba to join us, and this year, we are very excited to welcome both past and present attendees, who have made impactful contributions to research, our institute, and each other.


As we take this moment to reflect on all that we’ve accomplished, my hope for all attendees this year is to know how integral you are to the success of CHRD and the future of research. Your unique talents and unwavering dedication drive our collective achievements.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and everyone at CHRIM, I want to thank you for your participation and enthusiasm for this exciting event. This conference is only a small reflection of how hard our entire community of researchers, labs, and teams work each day. Together, we are not just a team; we are a force for innovation and progress.

Thank you again for joining us, I look forward to seeing you there!
