On Wednesday, October 29 (2:30 to 3:30 pm), we’re hosting VCH-Vancouver’s next All-Staff Forum — and a very special one at that. Based at the VGH Paetzold Auditorium (webcast options available), this forum was developed in consultation with staff and with your feedback in mind. Register with CCRS today.

Vancouver All-Staff Forum  

The theme of October’s forum will be work-life balance — a topic many of you have expressed an interest in —and a topic endorsed by our ASF Ideas Lab of Vancouver Acute and Community staff.

Join us and special guest Mary Ackenhusen, VCH President and CEO, who will speak about what she’s learned (the hard way) about work-life balance. EFAP services will introduce the new “Taking Care of Me” workshops and, then, it’s over to you. In response to your feedback, we’re devoting almost half the forum to Q & A.

Vancouver’s ASF Ideas Lab: (back row, left to right) Gail Allison, Edward Park, Michelle de Moor, Parm Pannum, Vivian Eliopoulos, Haydee Mones, Barbara Drake, Harjit Dhaliwal, Rian Dodds, Andrew Day; (front row, left to right) Laura Case and Stacy Sprague.

Wellness Fair

Following the forum, we’re hosting a Wellness Fair (3:30 to 4:00 pm) in the Paetzold Atrium. Learn more about wellness services available to you. And, if you’d like to speak with us individually, we welcome the opportunity.
