Our fees are much lower than those of similarly sized regulatory colleges. • Launching an Indigenous Committee based on recommendations from the Towards Developing a Respectful Relationship initiative. The Committee was formed late in 2017. In 2018 it adopted terms of reference, which include acting as an advisory Committee to the Board. • Working on the revised Standards of Practice.
