Increasing diversity, equity and inclusion
The College strives to create an inclusive environment on Council to reflect the diversity of its registrants and the individuals, families and communities that they serve. As part of these efforts, the College encourages nominations from eligible registrants who are proficient/fluent in French and from other equity-deserving groups – including those who are Indigenous, members of visible minorities, persons living with disabilities and/or women.
