Approved Changes to the Register By-law

At its March meeting, Council discussed changes to the Register portion of the College’s General By-law. The main focus of the by-law changes were to bring our register in line with new legislation, and you can read more about all of the changes here. Council launched a 60 day open consultation period on these changes, and did not receive any comments. Council passed the changes to the General By-law as proposed at its June meeting. Council also discussed further changes to the General By-law at its June meeting, and you can read more about the new proposal on page 7 of this newsletter and give your comments on our website here.

The Facility Standards & Clinical Practice Parameters for Midwife-Led Birth Centres set minimum standards for all midwife-led birth centres and serves as the basis for College assessments conducted on behalf of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.

Council approved revisions to the College’s Facility Standards & Clinical Practice Parameters for Midwife-Led Birth Centres. The revised standards and clinical practice parameters (CPP) will be effective January 2019.
