How Do You Stay #CPABCfit?
W
e all know that stress can be damaging to our physical
and mental health. That’s why it’s so important to lead a
healthy lifestyle by staying physically active, eating a
healthy diet, engaging with others, and finding ways to quiet our minds.
CPABC offers a variety of resources to support members, candidates,
and students in living healthy and balanced lives. Here are just a few
examples:
• In collaboration with its Vancouver Chapter and Young
Professionals Forum, CPABC formed a co-ed team to compete in
the Vancouver Ultimate League (vul.ca) this past spring. The
league runs to mid-August, with games every Tuesday night.
Named “Note DISClosure,” the team is comprised of 18 CPABC
members, CPA PEP candidates, and CPABC staff representing a
variety of ages and skill levels. If you’d like to join the team,
contact David Chiang, CPA, CA, CPABC’s VP of member advice
and programs, at [email protected]. The team also welcomes
spectators to cheer them on!
• If golf is more your speed, note that six CPABC chapters will be
holding their annual golf tournaments this summer, and CPABC
will be holding its annual golf tournament on September 13.
Come hit the links with your peers—check your local chapter’s
website or watch for details in upcoming chapter emails.
• CPABC members, candidates, students, and their immediate
family members can access confidential counselling services
through Morneau Shepell. The cost of these services is covered by
CPABC. Services include confidential counselling offered in
various ways (face to face, by telephone, or online). For the full
list of services, visit bccpa.ca and choose Benefits and Member
Savings Program > Counselling under the Members tab.
• CPABC’s Benefits and Member Savings Program gives you access
to discounts for passes and memberships with organizations like
Oxygen Yoga & Fitness and GolfBC. Visit bccpa.ca/members/
