THE RESULTS OF THE CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FOR ELECTION TO THE 2024 CMLTO BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Exciting news! The CMLTO will have a full complement of Board Members in 2024, marking the first time since 2011.

In 2023, the CMLTO adopted a refreshed approach to its Board Elections, aiming to proactively prevent and address vacancies in Board Member positions in the electoral districts, specifically the Northern electoral districts, which have been vacant for a considerable period of time.

As a result of the approach, which was designed to ensure representation of the public interest across all Electoral Districts in the regulation of the profession and the strategic direction of the College, all current and upcoming vacancies on the CMLTO Board of Directors have been successfully filled.

We are pleased to announce that, after a decade, the CMLTO will have a full complement of Board Members again in 2024.

The results of the Call for Nominations for Election to the 2024 CMLTO Board of Directors are as follows:
