Established in September 2018, Chinese American Librarians Association (CALA) Canada Chapter aims to promote librarianship and library services in Canada with a specific focus on enhancing communication among Chinese Canadian librarians. Additionally, it provides a venue for Chinese librarians in Canada to cooperate with other CALA chapters and Canadian, provincial and international library associations. In the inaugural year of the establishment of CALA Canada Chapter, we invite members to celebrate the success of this new Chapter. Together, we strive to share our knowledge and experience as library professionals with Chinese cultural background. We also like to discuss and imagine the future of our profession in the current complex environment. There are a wide range of topics being proposed for this half day program, from EDI initiatives, leadership development to literacy programs, library research, and projects.
