CCHF hosted its first forum of the Canadian Children\u2019s Impact Series \u2013 Virtual Edition <\/em>on Thursday June 25, 2020.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our host, IWK Foundation\u2019s 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\u2019s leaders including The Brick and Mike House from Stollery Children\u2019s Hospital Foundation. Patient stories from across our network of member foundations left us feeling energised in our work to do what\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
