We invite all registrants to the first webinar hosted by the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC. Health professionals will share their experiences working as health care providers in remote First Nation communities.
The Board gathered for a Coast Salish blanketing ceremony to mark the formation of CHCPBC and to acknowledge its commitment to reconciliation and decolonization.

There were two announcements related to COVID-19 on July 26, 2024.
The offices of the College of Health and Care Professionals of British Columbia are located on the ancestral and unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples — specifically, the x ʷ mə θ k ʷ əy ̓ əm (Musqueam), S ḵ wx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwəta ɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations — the lək ̓ʷ əŋən (Lekwungen) Peoples — represented today by the Songhees and x ʷ sepsəm (Esquimalt) Nations — and the WSÁNEĆ (Saanich) Peoples — including the BO Ḱ EĆEN (Pauquachin), S Ⱦ Á,UTW̱ (Tsawout), W̱JO Ƚ E Ƚ P (Tsartlip), and W̱SÍ Ḵ EM (Tseycum) Nations.
As the College regulates the practice of multiple health-care professions across what is now commonly referred to as British Columbia, we acknowledge and honour all First Nations territories across these lands. We recognize that the public we serve includes more than 200 distinct First Nations and 39 Métis Chartered Communities.
We are conscious of the privilege we hold that allows us to carry out our important work on these territories, where the First Peoples have maintained a special relationship with the lands and waters for thousands of years — since time immemorial — and where this relationship continues today.
