As part of CHIMA’s ongoing efforts to strengthen and modernize our events, we’re introducing an exciting new way to experience our Chapter Education Days.
This year, CHIMA will host three virtual Regional Education Days, bringing neighbouring provinces and territories together for expanded learning, collaboration, and networking opportunities:
- Hosted by: NB, NSPE and NL Chapters
- Hosted by: BCYT, ABNT and SK Chapters
- Hosted by: MBNU and ON Chapters
Each Regional Education Day will feature chapter-led sessions and a Refresh & Connect session, where CHIMA members can network with peers, participate in prize giveaways, and earn additional CPE credits.
