A JOINT MESSAGE FROM OUR BOARD CHAIR AND PRESIDENT & CEO
This year began like many others, but if there’s one thing that’s constant, it’s change. The end of this past fiscal year was marked by the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had lasting effects on our organization and the nonprofit sector in Alberta. We thank those who to supported CCVO and the nonprofit sector this past year and as we steer through these times, adapting and changing as necessary.
