We help unite Herbalists across the country, and it is absolutely vital that our voices as professional herbalists and herbal advocates be heard. To help the CCHA to voice concerns and advocate at upcoming meetings with Health Canada, we need your help!
Many of you are already aware of the ongoing negotiations surrounding the Natural and Non-prescription Health Products Database (NNHPD) and the dialogue with representatives of practicing herbalist associations throughout Canada. The CCHA and affiliated provincial herbalist associations have been advocating for a number of years to ensure that NNHPD legislation is fair to our profession and the public whom we serve. You can find more on the NNHPD here: herbalccha.org/ccha-public-statement
Our dilemma is this: the federal government is now implementing a policy that requires stakeholder representatives to be present in-person at consultation meetings for the continuing development of NNHPD legislation. The costs associated with travel (flights, accommodation, etc.) are high, and often there is very little notice given as to the dates of these meetings.
To ensure we have a voice at the NNHPD meetings, we need your help! Please consider donating… every amount helps!
We will also accept Air Mile donations. Please contact us with any questions or for alternate ways to donate.
