Can you help us top that? Download the lighting request letter in English or French and let us know at marketing@cdha.ca if your community agrees to take part.

Thank you to Dentsply Sirona, G•U•M, and TD Insurance for generously supporting NDHW™ again and to PHILIPS Sonicare and PHILIPS ZOOM! for powering our Put Your Purple On! campaign. We have #NDHW25 purple plans and hope you do too!
