Council Changes 2021

Posted: March 29, 2021
CATEGORY: Council, News, Regulation

The Health Professions Act amendments introduced by Bill 30, the Health Statutes Amendments Act, 2020(1), come into force on April 1, requiring all regulatory colleges to increase public member representation to at least 50% on their councils, hearing tribunals and complaint review committees. The College recently updated our bylaws to reflect this change, changing the composition of Council from eight regulated members and three public members to six regulated members and six public members as of April 1. As of this date, Jessica Cherwick, ENP, and Ayman Darwish, MRT(R)(MR), will step down from their roles on Council, and John Pantazopoulos will join Council as a new public member. John Liu also joined Council as a public member in March after long-term public member John Jossa completed his term, and the remaining two public members will be appointed by the government of Alberta as soon as possible. The College would like to thank the outgoing members for their contributions and welcome the new members to the organization.
