The Canadian College of Health Leaders is pleased to be partnering with the Conference Board for this exciting event!? As part of our partnership, we?re able to offer our delegates a special rate to attend! Please see below for more information.

As the workforce ages and skilled talent shortages become more common and persistent, health and wellness issues grow in importance. A great health and wellness program will give you an edge in increasingly competitive labour markets, as it produces higher engagement and retention of current employees.?
