THE RESULTS OF THE CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FOR ELECTION TO THE 2026 CMLTO BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Exciting news! The CMLTO will have a full complement of Professional Board Members in 2026 for the third consecutive year.

In 2023, the CMLTO adopted a refreshed approach to its Board Elections, aiming to proactively prevent and address vacancies in Professional Board Member positions in all 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 upcoming vacancies on the 2026 CMLTO Board of Directors have been successfully filled.

We are pleased to announce that the CMLTO will have a full complement of Professional Board Members in 2026, marking the third consecutive year.
