The Algonquin Resort in St. Andrews, NB to host NBMS Connect

The New Brunswick Medical Society (NBMS) has announced an exciting update for its 2025 Physician Summit, Annual General Meeting (AGM), and Celebration of Medicine. Next year, the event will shift to May, and rebrand as NBMS Connect, bringing fresh energy as it coincides with the vibrant season of spring. Attendees can look forward to enjoying the stunning backdrop of The Algonquin Resort in St. Andrews, a choice that promises to make next year’s gathering especially memorable.

“This change brings a fresh perspective to our tradition,” says Dr. Lise Babin, President of the New Brunswick Medical Society. “Not only will we be meeting in the beautiful Algonquin Resort, but by hosting it in May, we’ll have a new season to inspire us as we focus on the future of healthcare and our profession in New Brunswick. St. Andrews by-the-Sea, known for its picturesque seaside views and historic architecture, will undoubtedly charm attendees, many of whom have welcomed the venue’s relaxed atmosphere. The Algonquin is a great location for deep discussions and networking.”

In addition to the professional development and networking opportunities, the Summit promises to be a family-friendly event. With a range of activities planned for partners and children, the NBMS has designed the gathering to accommodate attendees bringing loved ones along. The Algonquin’s family-oriented amenities provide the perfect setting for relaxation and fun, allowing physicians to enjoy quality time with their families while engaging in important discussions about the future of medicine in New Brunswick.

With more spaces for casual interactions, NBMS hopes the setting will foster even richer conversations around key issues facing New Brunswick’s health-care sector.

The Celebration of Medicine component promises to be a highlight, as always, with plenty of opportunities to recognize and honour our colleagues who have made a lasting impact on healthcare in New Brunswick.

“As we shift to a spring celebration, NBMS Connect feels like a new beginning,” said René Boudreau, CEO. “The energy that comes with the season, the venue, and the people we’re gathering with, will make it a special occasion to engage and learn about medicine and healthcare.”

The NBMS has secured the Algonquin for a three-year term, with dates set for May 29-30, 2026, and May 28-29, 2027.
