President’s Message

I'm excited to be submitting my second and last President's Report. 2016 has been an exciting
year for me as Branch President. In this edition, you will see reports from our committee chairs,
Zone Councilors and also a report on the 2016 Annual Educational Conference (AEC) in
Edmonton.

National Initiatives

In February, I attended the national meetings in Halifax, NS. The National Executive Council met
to discuss and advance National initiatives such as partnerships, bylaw revisions, revenue
streams, mandatory membership, Member Service Centre, and member communication.
Keep an eye out in your email inbox for communication from CIPHI National with updates on:
• Passed Motions
• Revised Code of Ethics, member disciplinary procedures
• 2017 AEC in Richmond, BC
• National Annual General Meeting
• Changes to student membership
• Online Courses

Mandatory Membership

This year's round of candidates receiving their certification will be the first group to require
membership in order to retain the CPHI(C) designation. As part of membership, participation
and completion of the Continuing Professional Competencies (CPC) Program will be required.
The institute is moving towards a future in which an individual holding CPHI(C) will not only
have the training to be a health inspector but will also have the continued education that is
required to adapt to ever changing demands for the public health workforce. In time, the
profile of the CPHI(C) designation as seen across Canada and beyond will be raised
exponentially and I am excited to see that future.

Web Store

Late last year, we issued coupon codes to all regular, retired and life members to use at our
newly created online, print-on-demand web store. The goal was three-fold: 1) Increase
branding of our Branch; 2) appreciation for membership and support toward CIPHI AB; and 3)
give our members the freedom to choose their gift while not committing the Branch to unused
merchandise. This web store will continue to be available in the near future for all your CIPHI
AB branded merchandise needs.

Educational Support

The 2016 AEC in Edmonton was an enormous success. We had three full days of education with
multiple streams of content as well as fun social events. There was an overwhelming amount of
positive feedback that was received. I have no doubt that this feedback will be put into good
use for upcoming AEC and Branch workshops. Thank you to the entire organization team for
making it happen. Special thanks also goes to the conference chairs, Jason MacDonald and Phi
Phan for being the driving force leading many members of the committee who put in long hard
hours of work over the course of over two years.

As you might remember, during the 2016 AGM we committed to supporting the members in
attending the AEC. This year's fall workshop in Fort McMurray will be no different. The Branch
Executive will continue to work to ensure our members are supported in attending future
conferences and workshops.

Finally, my term as Branch President will conclude at this upcoming AGM in May. I've had a
blast in various roles within CIPHI and will continue to play a role as Past President.

Respectfully Submitted,

Thomas Cheung, CPHI(C)
CIPHI Alberta Branch President

Auditor Letter

April 12th, 2017

Canadian Institute of Public Health Inspectors – Alberta Branch
Attention: Mr. Danny Thepsouvanh, Treasurer
Box 1674
Drumheller, AB T0J 0Y0

Dear Mr. Danny Thepsouvanh,

RE: Independent Auditor’s Report
Audit of Financial Records for CIPHI - Alberta Branch
January 01, 2016 to December 31, 2016

We have audited the accompanying Financial Statement of the Canadian Institute of
Public Health Inspectors – Alberta Branch and the related statements of income, retained
earnings, and cash flows for the year that covered the period from January 1,
2016 through December 31, 2016.

We performed the audit on April 11th, 2017 with the purpose of establishing the completeness
and evidence of financial transaction documents that form the basis of operation of the
Canadian Institute of Public Health Inspectors – Alberta Branch. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Canadian Institute of Public Health Inspectors – Alberta Branch. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We determined that all debits were properly supported by invoices and cheques and were
properly applied to the respective accounts. As well, we determined that all credit receipts
were recorded correctly as to account and amount and were deposited promptly.

As for the values recorded by December 31st, 2016 in the ledger book and those recorded in
the other bank statements, we confirmed that these are identical. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We found the records to be adequately organized and comprehensive, and we commend Mr.
Thepsouvanh’s dedication and quality performance in his position as Treasurer.

While this is not a professional audit, in our opinion, the audited financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Canadian Institute of Public Health
Inspectors – Alberta Branch as of December 31, 2016.

This letter is thus submitted to the Canadian Institute of Public Health Inspectors – Alberta
Branch membership and executive for review.
