Elections at CHF Canada’s 2011 AGM

Candidates for CHF Canada’s board make statements during the all-candidates session.

CHF Canada seeks candidates every year to run for the Board and Ontario Council. CHF Canada has a 16-person Board of Directors with one director from each province, one representing the Aboriginal community, and five elected at large. Directors serve two-year terms and elections are held each year for half the Board. Some regions have chosen to hold regional director elections in the region; others are conducted at the annual meeting.

The following directors were elected this year:
