In 2022-2023, the Council found itself at a crossroads in its development. Anna Farrow’s decision to retire from the Executive Director function, to embark on a new career as a columnist for The Catholic Register, meant that the ESCC was engaged in a lengthy search to find a successor. Contextually and by consensus, the five strategic priorities that have guided the actualization of the ESCC’s vision and mission, essentially since 2016-2017, were renewed. Throughout the year, governance focused on seizing all opportunities to better understand the evolution of the profiles of its key target groups (seniors, newcomers & asylum seekers, and underrepresented groups), as well as the environmental factors that drive it.
