Council

The College of Chiropractors of Alberta is governed by a Council of 10 persons:

• Five regulated chiropractors in good standing
• Five members of the public appointed by the Government of Alberta

Public members provide a critically necessary public-oriented perspective and ensure decisions and actions made by Council are in the best interest of Albertans.

The Chair and Vice-Chair are appointed by sitting Council members, and can be either a regulated chiropractor or a member of the public.

Role of Council

Council governs in a manner that respects and protects the privilege of regulation granted to the profession by the Health Professions Act. Council is responsible for making decisions that best serve the public interest and ensure the quality of chiropractic care in Alberta.

Council defines the Code of Ethics, Standards of Practice, and Bylaws to ensure Alberta chiropractors provide safe, competent and ethical chiropractic care to Albertans.

Council communications and contact information

Council News, an e-newsletter which is sent out to regulated chiropractors on an as-needed basis, reports on special Council news and decisions.
