Our commitment to supporting anti-racism through diversity, equity and inclusion
July 08, 2020
The tragic events of recent weeks and months have prompted deep and often difficult conversations across society about systemic racism and the frameworks of privilege that allow it to endure. The horrific death of George Floyd and others in the United States and racist incidents involving Black, Indigenous and people of colour here in Canada, have made it clear that our discussions about diversity, equity and inclusion need to be rooted in our commitment to anti-racism and in tangible steps to promote change.

The depth of activity and dedication of our CPRS volunteers never ceases to amaze me - it’s breathtaking! Underway are numerous projects worthy of mention that advance our professional association. We like to shine the spotlight on prize events like the National Conference or the Awards of Excellence that appear to lift off the page like a well-rehearsed script.

In the spotlight today is our CPRS Local Society leadership. I tip my hat to all the local society boards, committees and volunteers for their outstanding work providing value to members and building community.

July 17, 2019
I hope you’ve had a great summer so far. Myself, I’ve spent some time during my first month as CPRS National President reflecting on the many highlights of another successful national conference, Evolving Expectations. It was a truly informative and eye-opening look at our ever-evolving profession, so thanks again to everyone who worked hard this year to create another invaluable professional development and networking retreat for our delegates.
