It is with mixed feelings that we say goodbye to Heide after 5 years of service with the association. Heide has played an integral role in the revival of CPHR Manitoba (HRMAM) and we wish her well in her new journey. Heide had a few words to share with the membership:

In the past five years working with CPHR Manitoba (HRMAM) it has been a great pleasure for me to meet the members and assist in any way that I can.
