Dear MDRAO members,

I hope that you all have had a wonderful year so far. MDRAO has been very busy during the last few months. We have a few projects on the go. One of them is the revision of the MDRAO manual so that it aligns with the CSA Z314-23 standard. Once the manual is updated, we will update the online course as well. It may sound very easy and quick, but let me tell you that there is a lot of work put into updating the manual.

We are also working hard on offering the opportunity for students to do a practicum if they want to. This is still ‘work in progress,’ and we will keep you posted on the progress of this project.

Delta Chapter held their PD Day on Saturday March 2nd at the White Oaks Conference Resort and Spa in Niagara-on-the-Lake. I was unable to attend, but I hear that it was a great success. Kudos to Tamiza Samji and her team that worked hard at organizing this special event for her chapter and other MDRAO members. Thank you to all the vendors that supported us with this event!

The Provincial Board will be meeting again on the weekend of May 4-5th. Sigma Chapter will be hosting their Education Day as well during that weekend. More information to come in the upcoming weeks.

Finally, it’s election time at MDRAO! This is an exciting opportunity for MDRAO members to join the leadership team. You are invited to nominate esteemed colleagues to contribute their vision and expertise on the MDRAO Chapter and Provincial Boards for the 2024-2026 term. Do not miss this opportunity. Check your emails now and submit your nominations!

Until next time,
