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.
  • Meetings: Attend approximately 5 Council meetings per year (GTA or Virtual), typically Thursdays starting at 9 am.
  • Preparation: Review of all relevant documents in preparation for Council Meetings (approximately 2 hours).
  • Commitment: Serve a term beginning in June following the annual general meeting. Terms are typically three years but may be shorter to support the needs of Council.
  • Development: Mandatory orientation and ongoing professional development in governance.
  • Committees: Serve on one or two Council committees.

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.
