About PGO Council Involvement

Over the history of the PGO, many of our registrants have volunteered to serve on Council. Their contributions have been invaluable in ensuring that PGO remains focused on carrying out its mandate of protecting the public. We ask that you volunteer some of your time and talent and join your colleagues in serving the public interest through PGO.

Expectations:
  • Police check clearance is a requirement.
  • Attendance: Approximately 5 Council meetings per year, generally held in the Greater Toronto Area. Meetings usually occur on Thursdays (9 am – 3 pm). Virtual access is provided.
  • Preparation: Review of all relevant documents in preparation for Council Meetings (approximately 2 hours).
  • Committees: Councillors also sit on one (1) or two (2) committees as required.
  • Professional Development: Mandatory attendance at orientation and continuing professional development on governance throughout the term.
  • Term: 3 years starting in June following the Annual General Meeting (AGM).

Travel and accommodation expenses for in-person meetings are reimbursed by PGO. Time spent at Council meetings can be counted as Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours.

PGO is committed to diversity and inclusion. Visit our Diversity and Inclusion page.
