Everything below was checked against the host organization's own page, not a listings site. Oct 12 is Thanksgiving, and Oct 3–4 and 10–11 are weekends, so the working days are Oct 2, Oct 5–9 and Oct 13.

CAMH. Pharmacology in mental health, buprenorphine for opioid use disorder, concurrent disorders (two courses), medication interaction.
These run for months, not days. Worth a look only if she wants a full course.
One thing worth knowing before she plans around this. Several university calendars are empty for October because the fall schedules aren't posted yet, not because nothing is happening. U of T Psychology on St. George has no upcoming events listed at all, McGill Psychiatry's calendar is blank, and OISE stops at Sept 11. Departmental colloquium series usually go up in early-to-mid September, so the Oct 5–9 week will likely gain a few free talks.
Also: searching "Toronto psychology conference October 2026" returns a wall of results from ConferenceIndex, AllConferenceAlert and similar. Those are predatory conference mills, not real events. They're excluded here on purpose.
