Call for Nominations
The College of Midwives of Ontario will be holding Council elections from June 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024, to fill two vacancies for professional member positions. Each term consists of a duration of three years. The next term will begin October 2, 2024.
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.
The College is also committed to accessibility and reducing barriers to participation. If you are an individual who may require accommodation to participate in the election process or upon election to Council, please select the option to request support available on the nomination form.
If you’re considering putting your name forward, read below to find out more and consider attending one of our online election information sessions. The College will be holding one webinar for all interested midwives and one reserved for midwives from Indigenous, Black, and racialized communities.
