Message from our President

This is a dynamic time for the CSA.

The membership has passed the 700 mark, and with more seniors moving to Canmore we are an increasingly diverse group.

It has been a time of change with new programs developing and others discontinued.

On behalf of the CSA Board of Directors I encourage old and new members to participate in the activities and future planning of our organanizalion.

How the Association is Governed

The Board of Directors is responsible for the operation of the Association. Officers are elected by the members at the Annual General Meeting for a one year term and Directors for two years.
