This year presented many learning opportunities as we committed to ongoing training in diversity, equity and inclusion which Council members eagerly embraced. I share my gratitude to all Council members for their commitment to advancing our strategic goals and objectives while working to make Council more inclusive.

Since joining the Society in September 2022, two observations emerged: 1) We have accomplished a great deal, but we have much to do; and 2) We are dedicated to progress, all of us—members, Council, employees and community collaborators alike—and we are fortunate to have such an impressive crew of hard-working, diverse, intelligent, experienced professionals, all committed to a strong and supportive future for our profession, our industry, and our province.
— Cheryl Hodder KC, Chief Executive Officer
