CCHF hosted its first forum of the Canadian Children’s Impact Series – Virtual Edition on Thursday June 25, 2020.
Our host, IWK Foundation’s 2019 Champion Van Bernard, led us through 90 minutes of inspiring content where we looked back on the accomplishments of our partnerships over the past year and highlighted some of our network’s leaders including The Brick and Mike House from Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation. Patient stories from across our network of member foundations left us feeling energised in our work to do what’s right for children, so they live their healthiest, most fulfilling lives. CCHF was also honoured to recognize the leadership of our outgoing Board Chair, Ted Garrard and is very excited for the future with our new Chair, Jennifer Gillivan, leading us forward.
