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. Hopefully, after saying that, I don’t jinx it for us. Your board of directors has worked hard on our goals for 2023….

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

President’s Report
It’s spring! What an exciting time after a long and dreary winter. We are uplifted by thoughts of warmer weather and anticipate new life. I look forward to green grass, blooming daffodils, the return of robins, new leaves on trees bare for so many months, and (my favourite) baby bunnies enjoying a snack of clover…

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…

Message from the President
As I typed my first “President’s Message,” never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that the scene would look like this; me sitting at my computer wearing a surgical mask, trying not to fiddle with the nose piece as my glasses fog up, a monstrous bottle of hand sanitizer next to my keyboard,…
Message from the President
Dear CAA Members, As dedicated members of our Canadian healthcare system, Audiologists have had to suddenly expand their focus from how we service our patients yesterday and today to how we plan to provide our services in the months and years ahead. Since March until early May, only essential services (life sustaining) were permitted in-person under…
