Welcome

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you, on behalf of The DIVA Foundation Board of Directors, to the DIVA blog.

The DIVA Foundation is a national organization dedicated to improving the health and well-being of women through the promotion of educational programs, as well as rewarding exceptional individuals and organizations that have shown excellence in the advancement of the quality of life of Canadian women. The DIVA Foundation strives to support research and education in areas that are important to women. DIVA focuses on four “pillars” of health: physical, mental, social, and financial. The DIVA Foundation educational and awards programs are supported by donors and sponsors who believe in “Healthy Women… Healthy World”. By way of introduction to the Foundation, I invite you to take a look at our video.

The purpose of the DIVA blog is to provide up-to-date information to Canadians about The DIVA Foundation news and events, as well as general information relating to women’s physical, mental, social, and financial health. 

On the DIVA blog you will find information about:

• Ongoing educational and research initiatives that DIVA is supporting
• Special events that The DIVA Foundation is hosting 
• Community events supporting or relating to women’s health 
• The DIVA Foundation awards and award recipients

I hope you’ll enjoy reading the information we have to offer. Please feel free to provide feedback via the comments available at the end of each blog post. We will read all your comments and look forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback.

Once again, welcome to the DIVA blog!

Sincerely,
Grace V. Betts
