On May 22, 2012, the College held its 12th Annual Meeting and 9th Education Day at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in downtown Toronto. The theme for this year’s event was Professional, Ethical, Qualified and Accountable: Committed to Excellence. Approximately 540 members from across the province joined us for the event, with some members participating by webcast.
