Cutting Edge Updates in Periodontics

The Big Red Canoe Club is an RCDSO-approved study club for all things new in the field of dentistry. This study club will explore several Learning Streams covering a variety of topics. The main goal is to relearn how to practice dentistry in the COVID-19 world.

About Us

Established in 2005, The Perio in the Peninsula Study Club established itself as one of Canada’s leading study clubs for world-class periodontology and implant dentistry continuing education. Perio in the Peninsula has hosted more than 100 events across Niagara and developed a robust network of hygienists, dentists, dental assistants, administrators, nurses, scientists, academics, physicians, and dental specialists. The fundamental reason this organization existed was to promote a collaborative learning experience among a dynamic network of allied health professionals to understand the complex world of periodontology better. The pandemic changed that. At the onset of the pandemic, we created a new study club with the goal to support our industry network and share positive information. We knew maintaining relationships during the stressful closure of our offices would be critical to our future success. We called the group The Big Red Canoe Club . It is an RCDSO-approved study club, and the main goal is to relearn how to lead our teams and practice dentistry in the COVID-19 world.

The Learning Stream

Nourish the Soul of your Entire Team

We know one way to show your team appreciation is to invest in their growth and learning. Engaged and informed team members can help a practice to thrive rather than merely survive. The Learning Stream creates an ecosystem to provide this opportunity in a meaningful, fun and affordable way. The Learning Stream is where we can combine disciplines to improve our clinical abilities and enhance our team’s performance and mental health. The future is about creating imaginative things. A constellation of seven inclusive programs will be launched with something for everyone on your team. As a member of the BRCC, you have the opportunity to register your team first (and earn CE points)!
