WORD FROM THE PRESIDENT
On behalf of the members of the Board of directors and myself, I would like to welcome you to the renewed site of the Thalidomide Victims Association of Canada (TVAC), which celebrated the 20th anniversary of its incorporation on November 8, 2008. We can be proud of TVAC’s achievements; it was and still is thanks to the active participation and constant involvement of our members that we were able to reach our objectives.
We have gone a long way since 1988 and are thankful to the War Amps of Canada and the group of devoted victims who founded TVAC. As of that moment, TVAC became a place for Canadian thalidomiders to meet and work with and for its members.
In closing, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the current and past members of the Board of directors and committees, the executive management and employees, our funding parties, volunteers, valued donators and partners who, in the course of the last twenty years, have generously contributed their time and knowledge to the work and mission of the Association. It is because of you all that the Thalidomide Victims Association of Canada can pursue its humanitarian and social undertaking.
I therefore wish TVAC 20 more years in the spirit of success and continuity.
Enjoy your visit,
Suzie Yelle
President
