Council and Committees

Public Appointees to Council

The appointment of public members to the Council of the College is the responsibility of the Ontario Government, or more specifically, of the Lieutenant Governor in Council, with the process itself being administered by the Public Appointments Secretariat, an agent of the Ontario Government. Selection of an individual for appointment to Council is based on the person's expertise, knowledge and experience. The individual may have clinical or academic expertise in the practice of homeopathy, health professional regulation, and/or the health or public administration sector. Persons with a demonstrated interest or experience in public service may also be appointed. Each is expected to serve in his/her individual capacity rather than as a representative of any organization or any interest/advocacy group to which they may belong. Members may be appointed for a one or two year term. They may be reappointed.

• Heather Broadhead
• Mark Heller
• Julie Hughes
• Catherine Kerr
