As Registrar and CEO for the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (the College), I would like to provide you with a few updates:
Registration and Member Fees for 2022
During its meeting on Thursday, May 6th, the College Council approved the recommendation of the Finance Committee that there be no increase to the registration and member fees in 2022. In making this decision, Council carefully considered the significant and ongoing impact of COVID-19, the College’s operating costs, resource needs and other factors.
Every year, the Council carefully considers the College’s financial situation, reviews cash flow projections and approves fees for the following year. This annual review ensures that the College responds to changes in the environment in a fiscally responsible and flexible manner, while ensuring its ongoing capacity to fulfill its public protection mandate.
Stay tuned for information later this fall regarding the College’s annual membership renewal.
