CORE Alberta - Group Re-launch

The Emergency and Disaster Preparedness CORE group is transitioning. We have recently had a leadership change with the previous leadership retiring, and new leadership stepping into the group space. We plan to transition from a webinar format to a Community of Practice to share, learn from one another, and develop strong communities together.

Want to meet the new leads? Samantha and Marilyn are taking the reins of this group, and we are so very glad to welcome them to the group space. We also thank both Kim's for their years of commitment to this space and this topic, and their leadership. We will miss you!

Join Us in the CORE Group Space!
