CLN Support Services Regional Realignment

For the past two years, the CLN has concentrated on delivering professional development, training, services and supports through a virtual/online format. As we move forward, CALPs will notice CLN Staff “out and about”, offering support in-person. We will continue to offer services online through a variety of blended formats. We look forward to “seeing” more of you, more often, while maintaining ease of access to professional development and supports in a timely way.

In order to best meet the needs identified by CALPs across the province, CLN is making a few regional boundary adjustments, effective July 1st, 2022. The realignment will assist CLN staff with maintaining targeted professional development, training, supports and connections.

This chart provides a listing of all 83 CALPs by Region, along with the name and contact information of CLN’s Regional Support Staff. Organizations directly affected by the realignment are highlighted.

CLN Staffing Updates

We are very pleased to share that Lori St.Cyr will now support two roles at CLN. Lori will continue in her Metis & Indigenous Liaison role, and she will formally join the Regional Support Staff in the newly realigned North Region (see the listing of CALPs by Region for details).

Tanis Harms will be moving from her Regional Support Staff – West-Central role into a new Provincial Support Staff role, focusing on online professional development, training and custom supports across all regions, effective July 1st, 2022.

In consideration of the adjustments to regional boundaries and CLN staff moving to new roles, CLN is now recruiting to fill the Regional Support Staff – West position. Please see the Job Advertisement below for details.
