Dear Certified Dental Assistants, Hygienists and Dentists,

We would like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves to you. The Vancouver Central Certified Dental Assistants Society (VCCDAS) is in its 17th year. Our Society has grown to become an educational tool for Certified Dental Assistants, Hygienists and Dentists. We offer a high caliber of speakers to enhance our knowledge, keep pace with the complexities of modern dentistry and allow us to accumulate valuable continuing education credits. Members may be eligible for 2 credits for each course.

As a Society, we are proud to be able to keep our members current as to what is transpiring within our field and would like to welcome you as a member. Our monthly meetings, from 6:45 pm to 9:00 pm, are held at Vancouver Community College’s downtown campus which is located at 250 West Pender Street, Vancouver (Theatre Room 112).

There you will have an opportunity to listen to our speakers, meet other CDA’s, Hygienists and Dentists, and perhaps win a door prize all in a relaxed atmosphere. Through your support we endeavor to have a collective voice within our industry. Enclosed is a Speakers List. Please feel free to bring co-workers.
