Governance


The Governance Committee (GC) supports the board by helping ensure the college’s governance framework supports BCCNM in carrying out its legal mandate. Its work includes reviewing and recommending key governance policies, board and committee composition needs, evaluation processes, education priorities, and other governance matters referred to it by the board.

Overvie​​w 

The GC consists of at least three members, one of whom must be a public board member. Appointment terms are one year. A person may serve on the GC for up to six consecutive years. 

Commitment ​​

The number of meetings a GC member attends in a year varies; however, members should be prepared to attend five meetings per year. The GC meets in-person or by videoconference.

We give specific thanks to the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaking peoples the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations and the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh-ulh Sníchim speaking Peoples the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation), on whose unceded territories BCCNM’s office is located. We also give thanks for the medicines of these territories and recognize that laws, governance, and health systems tied to these lands and waters have existed here for over 9000 years.

We also acknowledge the unique and distinct rights, including rights to health and wellness, of First Nations, Inuit​ and Métis peoples from elsewhere in Canada who now live in British Columbia. As leaders in the settler health system, we acknowledge our responsibilities to these rights under international, national, and provincial law.​
