Health Care Aide Regulation
Today, Feb. 2, the regulation of HCAs under Alberta’s Health Professions Act (HPA) came into force. The College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta (CLPNA) has been renamed the College of LPNs and HCAs of Alberta (CLHA) and is now responsible for regulating HCAs in addition to the LPNs it currently regulates. The following resources may be useful for ASCHA Members to share with their HCA staff members:

• CLHA’s HCA Webpage and HCA News
• Fact Sheet: Health Care Aide (HCA) Regulation (updated)

Save the Date – Let’s Tee Up Again Fore the 2^nd Annual ASCHA Golf Tournament!
We are excited to announce that the 2^nd Annual ASCHA Golf Tournament is officially on the calendar for Jun. 17, 2026, at the Leduc Golf & Country Club. After a great inaugural year, we are heading back to the fairway for another day of friendly competition, connection, and a few laughs along the way. Whether you are playing for bragging rights, networking between holes, or just enjoying a beautiful day on the course, this is one event you won’t want to miss.

Don’t worry - our 2027 golf tournament is planned for the Calgary area.

Full tournament details, sponsorship opportunities, and registration will be shared soon – right after we get through our Home for Housing Convention & Trade Show (one event at a time)! For now, mark your calendars and get ready to tee off with us. We promise it will be worth the drive…and hopefully the fewer sand traps. See you on the green!

If you’re a housing-provider professional looking to expand your network and stay ahead of industry trends, ASCHA's 2026 Home for Housing Convention & Trade Show is the event you won’t want to miss!

The Convention & Trade Show brings together housing providers from across the region to connect, share best practices, and explore innovative solutions, all in one place. Over two and a half days, you’ll take part in learning, problem-solving, and practical conversations that strengthen our sector.

While our full education lineup is still being finalized, you can expect sessions that reflect the real challenges and opportunities housing providers face today. Each year, attendees tell us how meaningful it is to learn from peers, exchange ideas, and return home inspired. That sense of community is the heart of this event.

If you’re looking to grow your network, spark new ideas, and be part of a community working to improve housing across the sector, we’d love to have you join us.
