"I’ve been a member of CIPHI for almost 25 years and look forward to attending the annual provincial conferences to see old friends, meet new colleagues and hear about emerging topics in public health. Now that I work exclusively in infection prevention and control, this is one of my greatest opportunities to stay connected to issues in other areas of environmental health such as health hazard investigations and water safety. In the past as a CIPHI executive councillor I have had the opportunity to learn and grow, and look forward to continuing that experience as I volunteer on the 2010 Conference Committee."
Cathy Egan

"My experience at the 2009 CIPHI Ontario Branch Educational Conference was great from start to finish, and then some! Everything from the outstanding and informative speakers to the personal contacts made throughout the conference created an unforgettable experience. I would like to thank the organizers for hosting a conference that offered such an enjoyable learning experience."

"The 2009 Ontario Branch CIPHI Educational Conference had an abundance of interesting and educational speakers. I was able to bring a wealth of knowledge back to my colleagues at my place of work. The networking opportunities gave me a chance to reconnect with inspectors from across the province as well as share ideas and perspectives on the work we do!"
