CAPO 2026 Conference
As we stand at a new horizon in psychosocial oncology, we recognize the unprecedented opportunities to expand both access to and impact of comprehensive cancer care. This conference will explore innovative strategies for breaking down traditional barriers that have historically limited access to psychosocial support, including geographic isolation, resource constraints, cultural disparities, and systemic inequities in healthcare delivery.
This expansion of reach and influence represents not merely growth in service numbers, but a fundamental transformation in how we conceptualize, design, and implement patient-centered psychosocial care across diverse communities and care settings. We will explore scalable solutions that amplify impact while maintaining the deeply personal, human-centered approach that defines excellence in psychosocial oncology. From telehealth innovations and peer support networks to community-based interventions and integrated care models, this conference will showcase evidence-based strategies that expand our collective ability to support individuals and families navigating the cancer journey, wherever they may be.

THE NEWFOUNDLAND ‘N’ LABRADOR SHOWCASE is an original 55-minute comedic showcase emceed by one of Spirit of Newfoundland’s irreverent performers and featuring our talented cast and the Spirit of Newfoundland Band. It’s a full immersion into the music and stories of Newfoundland that represent our unique culture. It’s a real Newfoundland time.
So, what’s a “time”, you ask! Well, a time is one of those experiences that leaves audiences saying things like, “The man next to me laughed so hard his teeth fell out!” Seriously. A time is an absolutely fabulous social and cultural experience. And it always features:
- amazing food and lots of it – with an appetizer, main, and dessert – served up by our culinary team led by Chef Colleen O’Rielly
- foot-stomping songs and music with, of course, a little bit of that traditional sound with an accordion or fiddle
- and that world famous Newfoundland sense of humor so often heard in our dialogue and stories
A three-course dinner followed by:
- Newfoundland Screech Cake, the Spirit of Newfoundland’s Signature Dessert! Slices of moist and delicious bundt cake infused with Newfoundland Screech rum with hints of vanilla, soaked in a rum glaze. Served with a generous helping of Spirit of Newfoundland’s versatile Rum Sauce and fluffy cream.
Registration includes dinner and the show. Drinks are extra, and you will be billed separately for these.
