Quinte Home Economics Association

QHEA has been active in the Quinte area for more than 30 years. Meetings are held the third Monday of the month from February to May and September to December. Meetings have both a professional and social networking focus. Monthly programs have included local tours (e.g. museums), participation in a ‘mini’ cooking class (e.g. making chocolates, appetizers) a variety of guest speakers from lawyers, financial counsellors, a midwife, as well as a ‘make-and-take’ event when members share of their own expertise and talent. The Christmas silent auction, bus trips, and other ‘one-of-a-kind’ special events are fundraisers that help support our local and international projects and fund scholarships for students entering Home Economics-Family Studies related programs in post-secondary educational institutions. Membership is open to professional Home Economists as well as individuals who support the goals of QHEA. ​
