Canadian CBSS Initerim Community Leadership Council Accepting Nominations

news image

In January 2024, HelpAge Canada placed an open call for nominations for the first national leadership council for the CBSS sector – the Canadian CBSS Interim Community Leadership Council (ICLC) – and selected two community leaders, Karen McDonald (Healthy Aging Alberta) and Marta Hajek (Elder Abuse Prevention Ontario) to co-chair the council. The ICLC’s ‘interim’ term of eighteen months will focus on affirming its mandate, terms of reference, strategic directions, and most importantly, establishing the social license of Canada’s community organizations to represent their voices.

A report detailing the outcomes of the 2024 CBSS Sector Summit will be coming soon, along with announcements on upcoming community consultations, sector development work, and more.
