    We acknowledge that we are gathering on the ancestral homelands and unceded territory of the Wabanaki Confederacy who are the “People of the Dawn”, this includes the Wolastoqey, Mi’kmaq, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot and Abenaki peoples.

    The CPC and the CHRS have historically co-ordinated the planning and delivery of their AGMs, given overlapping board membership and for 2023/24 a common Chair/host (NB Parks) to allow for networking and for efficiencies in jurisdictional travel and event costs. The following information is provided to assist in the planning of the AGM.
