Proposed Name Change

At the recent CAHPERD Board of Directors meeting, a motion was passed that involves the suggestion of a name change at our Annual General Meeting (AGM) in May 2008. The recommended name is: Physical and Health Education Canada (PHE Canada). The name change is being suggested as a way to better reflect our vision and our mission (which remains unchanged). The CAHPERD Board recognizes that as we continue to raise more awareness about physical and health education in Canada beyond our traditional sectors (to include parents, media and the general public) and diversify our funding base and seek additional partners, a name change will assist these efforts significantly.

To ensure that Members are able to provide input and comments into this recommendation we have developed a CAHPERD Membership Online Feedback Forum. Membership ID will be required to participate. One response per membership ID is permitted.

This short forum must be completed by March 14, 2008 for consideration. (All submissions are confidential).

Visit the member's section of the CAHPERD website for full details. Complete details will also be available in February's edition of the In Touch.
