| Protecting Students Act In December, the provincial government passed Bill 37, the Protecting Students Act, bringing long-sought changes into law to protect students and to make the College’s investigation and hearings processes and practices more efficient and open. |
| | | Present to College Council Do you have a topic related to the College’s work or activities that you would like to present to our Council? Council invites public presentations at its quarterly meetings and at its Annual Meeting of Members.

| Disciplinary decisions The College is committed to transparency and accountability. That is why we have extended the ways in which you can access all disciplinary decisions involving members of the College.
