On behalf of Council, I am thrilled to announce the appointment of Kyle Fraser as the new Registrar/Executive Director of the College of Dental Hygienists of Manitoba (CDHM).
Kyle brings a wealth of experience in the dental hygiene profession, including prior leadership work with the College of Dental Hygienists of Ontario. He is currently completing his Doctorate in Education, with a focus on organizational leadership—a valuable asset as we continue to strengthen and grow our regulatory and professional landscape here in Manitoba.
Kyle is passionate about advancing the dental hygiene profession and is enthusiastic to begin this important work with CDHM. He will officially start his role on May 15, 2025, and will relocate from Ontario to join us in Manitoba.
In the meantime, Kyle will be attending the upcoming MDA Convention in Winnipeg on April 11–12, 2025 where he looks forward to meeting many of our registrants. Be sure to stop by the MDHA Lounge to say hello and offer him a warm welcome!
We also extend our deepest gratitude to Valerie Olivier, who stepped in as Interim Registrar during this transition period. Val’s steady leadership was instrumental in maintaining the operations and integrity of the College. We are pleased she will resume her role as Deputy Registrar upon Kyle’s arrival. Thank you, Val, for your ongoing dedication to the profession.
