Two memberships in one!
Membership in West Coast Homeopathic Society is linked to that of Canadian Society of Homeopaths (CSH) through an Affiliation Agreement signed by both Societies. In this way, a single application provides membership in both related provincial and national associations.
Membership application goes through Canadian Society of Homeopaths - please check their website to get more information about national benefits, fees, and application forms. Canadian Society of Homeopaths was created in 2006 by the Board and members of West Coast Homeopathic Society in response to recent political events and in order to better represent the interests of the WCHS membership that had grown to span the country. CSH established a national Professional Register that represents qualified Canadian homeopaths and assures the public of high professional standards and accountability. CSH also took over co-ordinating projects that affect members in all provinces - such as Membership, Homeopathy Awareness, Media Response, and Advocacy - leaving affiliates like WCHS to focus on community building and local implementation of membership and professional concerns. The WCHS Board can confidently recommend Canadian Society of Homeopaths to our members because we have been closely involved in its creation. In 2005, our Board became the founding Board of Directors of CSH. With the help of a Steering Committee and by using WCHS as a template, we replicated the effective WCHS organizational structure and philosophy of inclusiveness as key elements of the new Canadian Society of Homeopaths. This website will help you become familiar with West Coast Homeopathic Society, our goals and philosophy, and our commitment to supporting and representing the homeopathic profession in BC; to promoting public awareness and education; and to speaking up for homeopathy in the face of political or media challenges. If you like what WCHS has done in BC, you will like what Canadian Society of Homeopaths is doing across the country. The WCHS Board invites you to read more about Canadian Society of Homeopaths and to take this opportunity to join both Societies at the same time.
