Homeopathy Awareness Week (known as HAW) was first introduced in Canada in 2004 by the West Coast Homeopathic Society with the aim of raising public awareness of the benefits of homeopathy and advancing recognition of the homeopathic profession.  The following year, WCHS joined the newly-formed World Homeopathy Awareness Committee (now World Homeopathy Awareness Organization) to combine our HAW with international celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the birth of Samuel Hahnemann.  

In 2006, the Canadian Society of Homeopaths took over responsibility for the organization and promotion of HAW as part of the transition from WCHS.  Again, our HAW activities in Canada were co-ordinated with those of WHAO, which resulted in CSH receiving their First Prize for greatest awareness promotion.

By 2008 our Homeopathy Awareness celebrations had expanded to include the whole month of April and starting in 2009, CSH officially began celebrating Homeopathy Awareness Month.  No longer limited to the week starting April 10 (marking the birth of Samuel Hahnemann in 1755), our members can now spread events and promotions over the full month of April.
