The College is seeking nominations from eligible members to run for Council. To view the eligibility criteria for election, click here. Members are permitted to nominate themselves. All nominations require the support of two members of the College, other than the candidate, who are eligible to vote in the candidate's electoral district. Members wishing to nominate others should first seek their permission since the nomination must be accepted and confirmed by that member.
The deadline for the College to receive a candidate's nomination package is Friday, May 30. The nomination period extends from Tuesday, May 6 to Friday, May 30. You must be a member of the College by noon on Thursday, May 29 to run as a candidate for election to Council. If you have not received an email with a link to your nomination ballot, please email Ryan Pestana.
As the College's governing body, Council ensures that the College achieves its mandate to regulate the profession of kinesiology in the public interest. The Council is composed of nine kinesiologists and one academic member who are elected by members of the College, and six to eight members of the public who are appointed by the Ontario government.
Serving your profession as a Council member is personally and professionally rewarding. If elected, you will serve a term of three years. Council members receive orientation and training prior to assuming their role, and education and professional development opportunities are provided throughout their term. Council usually meets four times per year for two days and notice of meetings is provided well in advance. Council members receive a per diem for each meeting attended, and they are reimbursed for reasonable travel, accommodation and meal expenses related to attending a meeting. Council members are expected to sit on at least one College committee and to attend committee meetings. To learn more about Council, click here. FAQs about elections can be found here.
To vote in the election, you must have paid all outstanding fees and be registered by noon on Friday, July 11 so that your name may be added to the voters' list.
