2010: CACHCA embarks upon a year-long member and partner engagement process to review and update the mandate, roles, and structure of the pan-Canadian CHCs association. Those who participate in the process over the course of 2010 and 2011 strongly underscore the ongoing need for a federal CHCs association, highlighting the potential to enhance and expand its role through a strategic re-structuring. The formal re-visioning process for CACHCA moves into high-gear, with the goal of re-launching the association set for early 2012.
