Strength in Adaptability


The theme of our AGM this year is “Strength in Adaptability”, chosen to reflect the agility you, our members, demonstrated in the last year. Your ability to very quickly adjust to your new work environment created overnight by an unprecedented public health crisis is testament to your remarkable adaptability.

The COVID-19 pandemic turned our lives upside down, and despite it all you stayed focused on the task at hand to keep our country moving and stable. This resulted in helping millions of Canadians get through the crisis and supporting our policy and decision-makers as they were forced to rethink our way of life across the country.

Being adaptable has never been as important as today, and you are all an example to follow.

The AGM will be an opportunity to look back on the challenges and successes of the year, and to recognize the incredible work of all our members and volunteers.
