Season's Greetings dental assistants!
I hope you all have had a lovely
Christmas and are ready for the new
year! We'll be writing "2017" on our
charts for the next 12 months! I am
excited about this new year, and with
every new year comes new
beginnings! Hopefully some exciting
new looks and ideas for the Calgary
Dental Assistants Association. Your
board is currently looking into
different and better ways to serve
you, to help you with continuing
education and to be a voice for our
profession. One of my new year's
resolutions is to be a better dental
assistant, for my patients primarily,
but also for my teammates and
fellow professionals-that's you! I am
honored to serve you, and I look
forward to each new opportunity to
do so in 2017!
Warm regards,
Chantelle de Jonge

Career Talks, a partnership between the
City of Calgary Youth Employment Centre and The
United Way, promotes high school completion by
having volunteers share their personal stories and
journeys into their respective professions through
small, informal discussion groups (1-10 students).
Each Career Talk focuses on the importance of
setting obtainable goals, navigating the world of
work, overcoming challenges and self discovery.
Career Talks take place during school hours and are
facilitated by an All in For Youth Liaison.
Career Talks are not professional
presentations, recruiting events, hiring fairs or a way
of convincing students towards a
certain career path. They are best used as a hook...a
way to motivate students to explore an array
of career opportunities. Everyone’s journey is
different.
If you are interested in volunteering with
the Career Talks program please contact
Christina David at
or 403-268-5747.
