🍂 A great start to the new CBA-SK year!

It was wonderful to see so many CBA Saskatchewan members come out to our President’s Receptions in Saskatoon and Regina!

These gatherings were a great opportunity to reconnect with colleagues, make new connections and meet our 2026–27 President, Angela Stolz.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make both receptions such a great way to kick off the new Branch year. We’re looking forward to seeing our members at events throughout the year!
