On behalf of the AHP Canada Cabinet and myself, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the world famous Niagara Falls, Ontario. In conjunction with Health Care Public Relations Association colleagues, this annual AHP conference promises to be innovative and energizing in its keynote presentations, wide variety of educational sessions and social opportunities to meet with friends and colleagues.

The conference theme; Reach for a Rainbow speaks to positive challenge, appreciation for simple joys and the promise of a reward. Philanthropy is all of these – building positive and meaningful relationships, demonstrating appreciation for receiving gifts to meet human and community needs and most importantly, confidence for the future.

I look forward to welcoming you and your families to the majestic Niagara Falls. This promises to be a conference site and program that you will not forget.

Pearl F. Veenema, CFRE, Chair, AHP Canada


On behalf of the Health Care Public Relations Association (HCPRA), I’m pleased to invite you to join us in Niagara Falls to Reach for a Rainbow. The 2003 AHP/HCPRA Conference promises to provide opportunities to reflect, rejuvenate and get ready for the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.

Our rainbow theme is particularly appropriate in today’s uncertain health care climate. From balmy weather to torrential downpours, we’ve experienced it all! A rainbow is a wonderful symbol of positive hope and sunny days ahead. I look forward to welcoming you at the Falls!
