Pharmacy Appreciation Month: CAPhO Sponsored Lunch and Learn

Pharmacy Appreciation Month: CAPhO Sponsored Lunch and Learn

March is Pharmacy Appreciation Month, a time to recognize the essential contributions of oncology pharmacists across Canada. To help members celebrate their teams and strengthen local connections, CAPhO is supporting up to ten member led Lunch and Learn events across Canada, each eligible for up to $250 in reimbursement to help offset costs.

Through this initiative, members have the opportunity to serve as CAPhO Ambassadors – helping celebrate colleagues, share CAPhO’s resources and raise awareness of the Association within the oncology pharmacy community.

These sessions provide an opportunity to acknowledge oncology pharmacy professionals, highlight CAPhO’s resources and engage colleagues who may be new to the Association or the profession.

Call for Applications 

Current CAPhO members are invited to apply to host a Lunch and Learn at their workplace during Pharmacy Appreciation Month (March). The application deadline is Monday, February 23, 2026 at midnight PST. 

The Call for Applications will open on Tuesday, February 3, 2026.

Ambassador Role

The event host acts as a CAPhO Ambassador, helping recognize their local oncology pharmacy community and introduce colleagues to CAPhO’s offerings.

Ambassadors are encouraged to:

  • Share event highlights on social media using #CAPhO and #ACPhO (CAPhO may repost) 
  • Help introduce CAPhO’s resources to colleagues 
  • Represent CAPhO locally in a simple, supportive capacity
  • Refer colleagues to become a CAPhO member

Post-Event Requirements

Within one week of the event, Ambassadors must submit the following materials via email to info@capho.org for inclusion in the CAPhO eNews and at the Annual General and Town Hall Meetings:

  • One or two event photos
  • Attendance numbers 
  • A short event summary (approximately 250 words)

Reimbursement

Reimbursement will be issued after the required materials are received by the Association Management Office and must be supported by original receipts. If expenditures total less than $250, only the amount actually spent will be reimbursed.
