20th Anniversary

For two decades, NCCMT has supported and facilitated evidence-informed decision making in public health, working alongside practitioners, policy makers, researchers, students and partners across Canada and beyond.

This milestone would not have been possible without our network – past and present – and we are grateful for the collaboration, trust, and shared commitment that have shaped our work.

We will be celebrating this achievement on Wednesday October 7, 2026, and invite you to join the live-streamed portion of the event, starting at 4:30 PM Eastern Time.

Invited guests and long-time collaborators will reflect on the origins of the National Collaborating Centres, the role of evidence-informed decision making in strengthening public health, and NCCMT's impact over the past 20 years. The program will feature perspectives from public health leaders, McMaster University partners, and past and present NCCMT leadership.
