Maisha Canada

Here is another poster with our venue details. Our 2026 gala will be at the glamorous Robert H. Lee Alumni Centre at the University of British Columbia. Thanks to our UBC team for this big upgrade, let by Yom M Jipur. Our early bird tickets will end next Friday, August the 14th. Grab yours while supplies last.

Unstructured tête-à-tête, you asked? We are working on it.

We got your feedback, more opportunities to socialize in a relaxed setting after the formal event. We are bringing back the BBQ for the afternoon of August 30th, the day after the gala. Stay tuned for the details.

Next Saturday, we will host Bior Ajak to explore career opportunities in the NGO sector, especially for Canadian educated returnees.

Get ready to level up your wellness✨

Sometimes we underestimate just how delicate the human brain really is.
It takes only one significant blow to the head – a collision, a fall, a concussion – to alter focus, mood, sleep, and memory in ways that can linger far longer than expected.
Neurosurgery operates at the edge of that reality – where precision, pressure, and critical decisions meet.

To close out Black History Month, we’re welcoming Dr. Inyani, Neurosurgery Resident, for a focused lecture series on neurosurgery.

Session 1 will be highly interactive.
You’ll explore compelling real-world case studies and have the opportunity to ask a neurosurgery resident direct questions about brain health and brain surgery.

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain real insight into one of medicine’s most demanding fields.

💬 Drop your questions below – what would you want to ask a neurosurgery resident?
