CAUDS Corner Winter 2021
We wish to thank everyone who donated to the Canadian AUD Society to honour Dr. Jeff Harries, who passed away on Nov. 9th 2021.
By founding our society, Jeff was able to turn his personal mission to change the way AUD is understood and treated into a national strategy. With your generous donations, we are determined to continue his legacy, and implement his plan to transform lives across Canada and beyond.
