The College recently announced upcoming changes brought about by amendments to the Health Professions Act (HPA) introduced by Bill 46. These amendments require that the College only carry out professional regulatory duties in the public interest and prohibit the College from carrying out association and member services functions. Based on a careful review of these changes and legal advice, Council has made the following decisions and updated the College bylaws where applicable:

• Branches will be dissolved as of July 1, 2022.
• The College will no longer host an annual conference.
• Associate membership will be discontinued as of January 1, 2022. This membership category also includes honorary life membership.
• The College will provide new regulatory learning opportunities for members, including an annual regulatory education event.

Please see the news post about these changes for more details.
