At its September 23, 2022 meeting (Agenda Item 7.2), Council passed a motion to circulate proposed changes to the By-Laws. These changes are a result of the College’s commitment towards improving governance and modernization.
Highlights of Proposed Changes
The proposed changes include:
- Terminology Updates (Section 1.01) – updates to more commonly understood language to counter the perception that professional interests dominate the regulatory system.
- Inclusive Language (Section 1.02) – recognizing the feminine, masculine and those who identify with neutral, non-binary or other terms.
- Eligibility for Election (Section 10.05) – ensuring that registrants demonstrate that they have the knowledge, skills, and commitment prior to becoming an Elected Director.
- Criteria for non-Board Committee members (Section 13.13) – aligning the terms of office for Board and Committee members. Setting criteria for non-Board members, including a maximum term of nine years.
- Inactive Certificate of Registration (Section 19.05) – provision to indicate that this fee is 50% of the fee for a General Certificate of Registration.
- Modernization/Housekeeping – Section 12.04 is removed to permit individuals best suited for the role of a Committee to complete its composition. Schedule 2 to the By-Laws is improved to clarify that only Directors of the Board can bring forth a motion.
