The Prairie Infection & Immunity Network (PIIN) is an investigator-driven collection of researchers from academia, industry and government in Manitoba and Saskatchewan with wide-ranging research interests into the mechanisms of communicable and non-communicable diseases. The PIIN 2025 meeting was held in Saskatoon, SK at the Sheraton Cavalier Hotel on Sept 28-30, 2025. With over 170+ total attendees across both provinces, PIIN 2025 was the largest meeting to date and a huge success! We were honored to be joined by Métis knowledge and ceremonial keeper André Letendre, who provided blessings at the opening and closure of the meeting. Mr. Letendre was also a speaker in the Indigenous Engagement in Infection and Immunity Research session on the last day of the meeting, which coincided with the National Day for Truth and Recognition, and provided us with greater understanding of how to respectfully engage with Indigenous culture and people in our work.
