Mark your calendars: June 18, 2025 at 4:30 p.m. will be our Annual General Meeting.
We will then have a Prince George social @ 5:30. Location in Prince George TBA.
Since our chapter is quite large, we are hoping to gauge interest from anyone in the NE and NW of BC (or the Interior) who might be interested in having a summer social.
Please email us at cprsnl@gmail.com if you are from an area outside of Prince George and would like to get together with other Members near you. If there is enough interest from people in a specific region(s), we can put you in touch to organize a get-together, with some CPRS NL support.
We have been very grateful to have had two Fall conferences in a row and CPRS Northern Lights would love to support another one, but we need your help!
Our Chair of Professional Development is ready to help as a guiding light if there is a sub-committee (leader and team of at least 4 people) who would like to take on this very worthwhile and valuable initiative.
If there is interest in this, please feel free to reach out before the end of April, by emailing cprsnl@gmail.com. Even if you just want to ask a question, we would love to hear from you!
