President’s Message

Greetings everyone. We’ve made it to March already! It’s been a milder season, and for someone like me who doesn’t love Canadian winters, I’ve been thanking mother nature for going easy on us.

Message from the President

My name is Jillian Price, and I am your new President of CAA.  This message is my first opportunity to address the members and hopefully you get to know me a little better.  I would be lying if I didn’t admit that I am still acclimatizing to life after the pandemic.  Small amounts of panic…

There has been a significant amount of excitement with the announcement that CAA will be holding an in-person conference in October this year.

May is Speech and Hearing Month in Canada

It may be common knowledge among hearing health professionals in Canada that the month of May is Speech and Hearing month.  However, I am quite certain that this is not top of mind for the general public.  So, I challenge each of you to take time this month to reflect and ask yourself ‘What am…

Message from the President

Oh my goodness, it’s already March.   In less than three weeks from now it will officially be spring.  How is that possible?  I have to admit my heart sinks slightly as I reflect on the challenges of the last twelve months.   Fortunately, that sinking feeling is brief as the spring season always seems to bring…
