At its October meeting, Council rescinded the Policy on Active Practice Requirements (APR). In place of this policy, the Registration Committee has approved a new operational process for administering the active practice requirements as outlined in the Registration Regulation.
Council has approved changes to the College’s General By-law. These changes were the subject of a public consultation over the summer, and we thank everyone who took the time to share their feedback.
The College has decided to invite members of the public to join our committees as non-council members. Read below to learn our implementation plan.

Health professional regulators, including the College of Midwives of Ontario, have a duty to ensure protection for clients and the public, and tackling title misuse is an important part of this.
The College of Midwives of Ontario’s revised Second Birth Attendant Standard came into effect on October 1, 2018. All members are now required to follow the revised standard and should be familiar with the changes.
