We are pleased to advise that Alexia Singh, RM and Lynne-Marie Culliton, RM have been acclaimed to fill the two open professional member positions for Council.
The new Council term will begin in October, 2024.
Alexia Singh, RM
Alexia Singh is a Black identified, registered midwife. Alexia has been registered since 2015 and is pursuing her Master’s degree in Midwifery at McMaster University. She has also worked as sessional instructor for the Midwifery Education Program and continues to mentor racialized midwifery students in the community.
Alexia has recently started a new adventure as the Clinical Lead at Ancestral Hands Midwives, a newly funded expanded midwifery care model that will be exclusively providing midwifery and reproductive care to people within the African, Caribbean, Black diaspora who reside in the GTA. This collaborative, interdisciplinary program will allow equity-deserving populations to access midwifery in a non-traditional way.
A community midwife working with Oak Valley Health’s Alongside Midwifery Unit since its inception, Alexia is also happy to continue to contribute to her community as a casual hospitalist.
Alexia is excited to be moving into her second term as a Council member and looks forward to continued learning and collaboration for the midwifery community in the public interest.
Welcome back, Alexia!
Lynne-Marie Culliton, RM
