Preferred Name Change for Employees

Organizational Development and Talent Management (ODTM) can facilitate a preferred name change request on your behalf. This can be processed at any point throughout your time with us at Canadore. It is important to us to ensure that you are identified properly in our hallways and all other extensions of our Canadore community. 

When successfully carried out, your dead name/legal name will be changed to reflect your preferred name on all your front-facing components.
