Canadian Quilters’ Association Update

November 16, 2020

Hello CQA/ACC Members,

Due to the continued world pandemic and its affect on our Association, I have been asked by the CQA/ACC Board of Directors to send this message to all  members.

First, due to the cost of the yearly audit by Baker Tilley, the Board has made the decision to hire Salman Idris of Chamber Fraser to carry out the financial audit for 2020 at a substantial savings to the Association. 

Second, due to health and safety concerns surrounding the global pandemic, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the in-person Quilt Canada 2021 in Toronto. We are currently looking into an alternative virtual event for 2021. We will keep you up to date, through e-newsletters, our website and social media, as our plans develop.

Keep on quilting and stay safe,
Carole McCarville
CQA/ACC Executive Director
