Council is the College’s board of directors. Council sets the College’s strategic and policy direction and makes decisions that protect and promote the public interest.

From July 9 – July 16, 2023, kinesiologists in the following districts will vote to elect Council members:    

• District 4 - Central (two vacancies) - View Nominees
• District 5 - Western (one vacancy) - View Nominees

Your electoral district is determined by where you work. If you are not working, your electoral district is determined by where you live.  

If you work or live in one of these districts, check your email inbox on July 9, 2024, for more information and a link to your ballot. This is your opportunity to contribute to public protection and the future of the profession!

Exam Development

The College has resumed exam development this year by appointing members to the Item Writing and Examination Committee. The project started with the review and validation of the French translation of the revised Kinesiologist Core Competency Profile.

The next round of activities for our Subject Matter Experts from the Item Writing Committee will include mapping of the existing item bank with the revised competencies and the item writing session. Those activities will take place between June and July.

Quality Assurance Program - Article 1:

Introduction the Peer and Practice Assessment

This article is the first of a running series on the College’s Quality Assurance program. Our intent is to shed some light on some of the QA programs that kinesiologists may not know about or be less familiar with. The first, and one of the most important, is the Peer and Practice Assessment (PPA) program. 

The goal of the PPA is to promote patient/client safety by ensuring that kinesiologists are providing competent, safe and ethical treatment, care and services. PPA cycles run twice a year, in the Spring and Fall and we are currently in the middle of the Spring 2024 cycle.
