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.
