Proposed by-laws for the College of Veterinary Professionals of Ontario

The Transition Council continues to make progress, one step at a time, towards the implementation of the Veterinary Professionals Act and the ‘one profession, two professionals’ model. The next step is to develop the by-laws needed to support and implement this new regulatory framework.

What’s it all about?

By-laws provide a structure which supports the running of the new College and its Council. Areas of particular interest for veterinarians and veterinary technicians may include:

• How Council elections are conducted
• Key issues on how the Council functions such as declaring a conflict of interest, how the Chair and Vice Chair are elected from among Council, and the Code of Conduct expected of Council and Committee members
• The information collected from licensed members, and the posting of a subset of this information on the public register
• Finances, including fees for applicants, licensed members, facilities, and professional corporations which are in Schedule 1 to the by-laws.

This consultation is now closed.
