The Society is seeking expressions of interest from individuals interested in joining the Complaints Investigation Committee (“CIC”). The CIC supports Council by carrying out the functions assigned to it under Part III of the Act and Part 9 of the Regulations. The Committee carries out its responsibilities in accordance with the Objects of the professional responsibility process.

If you are interested in joining a committee, please send the following documents to Wanda Wilson at [email protected].  We will review your materials and refer your application to the Nominating Committee for review and recommendation to Council.

• A brief expression of interest (max. 1 page) – please describe why you’re interested in joining the Complaints Investigation Committee, and the attributes and experience you could bring to this committee’s work.
• A brief resume (1-2 pages)
• A completed Skills Matrix

We value diversity on the CIC and welcome applications from members from equity-deserving communities. We also accommodate volunteers who wish to attend meetings via video. The Society asks applicants to submit a skills matrix to better understand the skills and backgrounds of members who wish to fill these vacancies.  

If you require an accommodation, assistance with preparing an application, or have any questions, please contact Marla Brown, Director of Equity and Access, at [email protected].
