Ally Is a Verb: Virtual AGM & Education Session

CDHA's 2025 annual general meeting (AGM) and education session take place virtually on Saturday, September 27 , sponsored by TD Insurance. Registration is now open and FREE! The education session starts at 11 am ET when presenter Rose LeMay, CFNHM, will raise our awareness of racism against Indigenous peoples and help us understand how we can each be an ally for them.

Allies must have sufficient knowledge to recognize the urgency of reconciliation, enough cultural competence to make Indigenous clients feel safe, enough courage to confront current-day racism against Indigenous peoples and be willing to act, and sufficient commitment to reform entire systems to ensure Indigenous inclusion. Enhance your knowledge on this subject as we approach the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
