Over the last several months the BC Care providers Association has piloted a number of free member-only workshops. The goal is to provide care home operators with innovative and cutting edge training and have covered everything from Labour and Employment Law to Infection Control and Prevention.
We are pleased partner with the BC Seniors Living Association to launch the third installment of this series titled, Tapping Into Vancouver’s Cultural Communities: Tips on How to Connect & Market Yourself to BC’s Increasingly Influential Ethnic Communities. The workshop, presented by Helen Yu of Choice Communications, will take place on January 21, 2015 at our new training facility located in Burnaby.
“We are pleased to partner with the BC Seniors Living Association to host such a unique and forward thinking workshop,” says Daniel Fontaine, CEO. “British Columbia is the most ethnically diverse province in Canada. Almost 30 percent of British Columbians immigrated to BC from another country, and care homes are becoming progressively more multicultural. We are proud to bring in Helen Yu of Choice Communications to provide insight regarding how our members can better connect with BC’s increasingly influential ethnic communities.”
