CCA AWARDS

The Canadian Chiropractic Association (CCA) Awards was built to recognize exceptional individuals whose passion, dedication and hard work have contributed to advancing the success of the chiropractic profession. In keeping with our mission to bring you inspired leadership by building a strong and engaged national chiropractic community, acknowledging outstanding talent and service to the profession is our way of saying thank you on behalf of chiropractors across Canada.
