The EfM programme revolves around the weekly seminar sessions, led by a trained Mentor. Mentors must be certified by an EfM Trainer. The Canadian programme has five Trainers who train all of our Mentors. They represent all areas of this country and can travel a great deal in order to carry out their responsibilites.

Meet the trainers:

Chris Ross      Annette Cowan

Kelowna, B.C.      Armstrong, B.C.

Pat Martin    Lynne Dillabough

Almonte, Ontario        Brockville, Ontario

Tim Smart

Montreal, Quebec

The Canadian Trainers will meet by Zoom in June of 2023 for our Bi-annual advanced Training of Trainers. We are looking forward to our time together as we work as a team to transition EfM Canada after the tragic death of Catherine Hall, Director of EfM Canada and a long standing trainer. We will be working on new training skills and charisms and enjoying new experiences even as we learn and study together
