CA Western

The Corner Brook CA Club was established in the late 1970's when area Chartered Accountants decided to meet periodically to share their professional views, take advantage of various professional development activities and to create a social gathering for their colleagues and peers. In 1991, the club officially changed its name to the CA Western Newfoundland. The Club attempts to meet every Tuesday of every month where meetings are presided over by a Chairperson and minutes are documented for later approval.

Through the assistance of membership fees and an annual contribution from the Institute, the Club is able to be actively involved in the community, undertake various professional development events and provide various sponsorships to organizations throughout the region.

The Club takes pride in its active involvement in the community. Some of this involvement includes its:

• Tax Clinic for Seniors. Each tax season, the members of the Club volunteer their services and prepare tax returns for local seniors and the patients at the local DVA hospital. Services are coordinated through the VON.
• Sir Wilfred Grenfell College Scholarship. Each December the Club presents a $500 scholarship to the student who obtains the highest marks in his/her first year university courses and who is continuing studies with the Faculty of Business and Administration at Memorial University of Newfoundland.
• Annual President's Visit. Each year the Club hosts its annual spring dinner in honour of the outgoing President of the Council. The President greets the club, media and CA students at a luncheon. As well, a dinner is held in his/her honour.
• Various Community Involvements. Over the years, the club has been involved in many community and educational events including school career days, youth workshops, Junior Achievement business games and sponsored events, and various sponsored professional development luncheons and meeting.
