Call for Nominations
The College’s Council makes regulatory decisions in the public interest. In order to make decisions truly reflective of the interests of all Ontarians, we require the expertise and perspectives of individuals with a variety of experiences that represent a range of communities. We recognize that currently, there is a lack of diverse representation in the composition of our Council.
We are particularly encouraging midwives from Indigenous, Black and racialized communities, marginalized communities, rural communities, as well as midwives who are French speaking, internationally educated, or practising in expanded, collaborative and/or community health team models to run for election.
Council has made significant progress on our five year strategic plan. Read the Strategic Plan 2021-2026 to learn more about the key priorities and initiatives that the College will be focused over this Council term.
If you are considering putting your name forward for election, please consider attending one of our upcoming online election information sessions, one for all interested midwives and one reserved for midwives from Indigenous, Black and racialized communities.
