Call for Resolutions

Dear Colleague,

CHNC has made the difficult but unavoidable decision to postpone our CHNC conference once again.

While we had hoped to gather in Richmond, British Columbia for our rescheduled dates in May 2021, the continuing complexities and uncertainties surrounding covid-19 have made it increasingly difficult to do so.

Most importantly, we recognize that many, if not most, of those involved in planning, presenting and/or attending the conference will need to continue their crucial roles on the frontlines of Canada’s response to the pandemic over the coming months.

We plan to return to Richmond for CHNC2022.

We are very disappointed we will not be able to meet this year, but we very much hope to see you in 2022. Until then, please take care and stay safe during these challenging times.

Yours sincerely,

Cheryl Cusack, RN, PhD
President, on behalf of the Board of Directors,
Community Health Nurses of Canada
