Welcome Message From The Rt. Hon. Justin P. J. Trudeau, P.C., M.P., Prime Minister of Canada
Chers amis,
Je suis heureux de présenter mes salutations les plus chaleureuses à toutes les personnes qui prennent part au 83e congrès national annuel de la Société canadienne de psychologie (SCP).
Cet événement constitue une plateforme importante qui permet aux scientifiques, aux praticiens et aux étudiants en psychologie de discuter des travaux de recherche en cours et d’échanger des idées et des pratiques exemplaires. Je suis convaincu que les participants profiteront pleinement des nombreuses possibilités d’apprentissage prévues au cours des trois prochains jours ainsi que des occasions de faire du réseautage avec leurs pairs de partout au pays.
Je tiens à féliciter la SCP pour son engagement à promouvoir l’excellence dans les domaines de la recherche, de l’éducation et de la pratique de la psychologie. La période que nous vivons rend l’organisation et la tenue d’événements plus difficiles. C’est pourquoi je tiens à remercier les organisateurs d’offrir ce congrès en personne et en ligne, et d’avoir préparé un programme informatif et enrichissant pour tous les participants.
Je vous souhaite un congrès des plus fructueux à Calgary.
Cordialement,
Le très hon. Justin P. J. Trudeau, C.P., député
Premier ministre du Canada

Greetings from the Honourable Michelle Rempel Garner, Member of Parliament for Calgary Nose Hill
I wish to extend my greetings to everyone attending the Canadian Psychological Association National Convention. Over the past 2 years, we have seen just how important the role psychologists have played in combating the devastating fallout caused by COVID-19. The pandemic has had a profound impact on the mental health of all Canadians. Extended lockdowns, the shuttering of Canada’s economy, and increased isolation of our most vulnerable have had a deep impact on Canadian’s mental health. Psychologists have played an integral role in assisting patients battling stress, anxiety, and isolation and launching groundbreaking studies. I wanted to thank all of you for the vital work you have done during the pandemic and that you continue to do to help support the mental health of all Canadians.
Sincerely,
Hon. Michelle Rempel Garner, P.C., M.P.
Calgary Nose Hill

Welcome Message From Dr. Edward McCauley, President, University of Calgary
To the delegates of the Canadian Psychological Association’s national convention,
Our University of Calgary community welcomes you to the 83rd annual national convention of the Canadian Psychological Association in our beautiful city.
For the first time in three years, this distinguished group of scientists, practitioners and students will be able to meet and interact in person, and I am delighted that you chose Calgary for this notable event. Over the past two years of a global pandemic, psychologists have formed an important part of Canada’s frontline health care force. As COVID-19 affected every facet of human life, psychologists have supported people experiencing stress and isolation, as well as conducting relevant research on other ways in which the pandemic has impacted mental health and child development.
When you all convene this year to share expertise, research insights and forecasts for your professions, I hope you will take a moment to appreciate your own valued role in supporting Canada’s recovery from COVID-19. All my best wishes for meaningful discussions with your peers and a very successful CPA 2022 National Convention.
Sincerely,
Edward McCauley, PhD, FRSC
President and Vice-Chancellor
University of Calgary
