"I ran for Council because I wanted to influence public confidence. I wanted to actively participate in improving the profession in a meaningful way and contribute to the transformation of the profession." – Council member
One of the benefits of being registered professionals is that RECEs have a say in the governance of their profession. Members in good standing can nominate candidates for Council
— or run for Council themselves
— and vote in the election.
The next election of Council members will take place in
District 5 – Toronto Region and
District 7 – Hamilton/Niagara Region.
Nominations open on December 7, 2018 and close on January 17, 2019. Voting opens on March 18, 2019 and closes on April 17, 2019.
Run for Council
"I would tell anyone thinking of running for Council that it is incredibly rewarding and builds self-confidence and confidence in the profession as a whole. The work feels big, impactful and meaningful." – Council member
Serving on Council is an exceptional opportunity to build public trust and confidence in the profession. Council members can share their professional experience, gain new leadership skills and connect with RECEs across the province. Through their
work on committees, they oversee policy direction, and make decisions related to entry to practise requirements, ethical and professional standards, and professional misconduct, incompetence and incapacity.
