Administrator2024-02-29T14:06:23-07:00

The College’s branches were originally established to provide members opportunities for education, networking and discussion. Amendments to the Health Professions Act (HPA) introduced by Bill 46 require that the College only carry out professional regulatory duties in the public interest, which has a direct impact on branches. The object of branches as stated in the bylaws was to “provide members with a forum for discussion, professional development and networking.” In June 2021, Council carefully reviewed the legislation and received legal advice [...]

Bill 46 Impact: Bylaws, Standards of Practice

Administrator2024-02-12T16:19:31-07:00

In February, Council approved the College’s new Bylaws. This revised document follows a template that was created by [...]
