Interest Groups
Depending on their areas of professional interest, CHICA–Canada members often have unique needs for networking and information sharing. Special Interest Groups endorsed by CHICA–Canada facilitate meeting these unique needs by providing a network for sharing of information, ideas, solutions to issues/problems (e.g. developing position statements) and other resources. Interest groups exchange information via the CHICA-Canada discussion board, e-mail, and the interest group websites found in the Members Area of this website.
Participants in interest groups MUST be CHICA-Canada members. For more information on joining CHICA-Canada, go to our membership information page.
If you would like to join an interest group, contact the chair of that group (see below for list of interest group chairs). If you would like to start an interest group, visit "Start an Interest Group".
