In preparation for the coming into force of the HPOA, BCCNM is redrafting its bylaws to align with the new provisions in the HPOA. BCCNM is seeking feedback from members of the public, registrants (licensees), health partners, and Indigenous leaders on the draft bylaws.

The draft bylaws will be released for consultation in groups for a 45-day period. Consultation dates along with online feedback forms for each part when available can be found in the table below.

Feedback and questions related to the consultation process can be directed to governance@bccnm.ca.
