Hello everyone, It was so nice to see so many of you at the MDRAO conference in September as we celebrated 150 years for Canada.

As Medical Device Reprocessing Technicians, we are now in our busy season. With the coming of fall brings all the areas we service into full force. We are constantly surrounded by changes in our industry and must embrace these changes in order to be successful.

All facilities have been asked to register their OTN sites by booking the site and system and emailing numbers to clanders@fibreop.ca. All agendas, evaluations, attendance sheets and educational slides will be posted on the Theta MDRAO website and emailed to all members within 10 days prior to the meetings. After each meeting, the attendance and minutes were posted within 5 days of the meeting. Lambda will be joining us for education and then have their meetings following as this has worked well for the February and April meetings and will continue next year. Theta members will receive education certificates for hours attended at the end of the year.

We certainly hope that you all had an enjoyable summer with your loved ones!

Welcome to fall everyone!

Greetings everyone!

It was great seeing everyone again at the conference this year. We had great turnout from every Chapter in this province. Hope everyone enjoyed themselves. All Chapters were able to send more members to the conference this year, which made it a huge success.

The Gamma Chapter had six people attend the September MDRAO conference. Two members attended for the first time and really enjoyed the event. The other members who attended thought it was one of the better conferences in some time
