Our Future from Coast to Coast to Coast is the theme for the combined annual meetings of IODE Canada and IODE Nova Scotia being held from Wednesday 20 May to Friday 22 May, 2020 in Sydney, Cape Breton. The success of combining provincial and national annual meeting since 2017 provides opportunity for all members to learn more about chapters in other provinces while attending the National meeting.
