College Council met on October 25, 2018. Key decisions and outcomes are listed below.

Public Input
In June 2018, the College joined the College of Physiotherapists in sponsoring a conversation on risk-based regulation with the Citizen Advisory Group (CAG) at their June 23 meeting. The CAG shared their perspectives on the ‘risks most Colleges should focus on’ and we are grateful for their insights. The CAG report was shared with Council and will be revisited at an upcoming Patient Relations Committee. Learn more about public input to College decision-making
