Council meetings: Four or five per year.
Committees: Each Council member is appointed to one or more committees. Time commitments vary by committee.

Nomination Process
- To stand for election, you must be nominated by 15 members of the College who are in good standing. We recommend that you provide 18Â nominators to prevent delays if any of your nominators are not in good standing.
- Once we receive your completed Nomination Form we will send you additional information about the election itself.
- If elected, you will be required to have a criminal record check.
- As part of the election process, we will mail information about each candidate to the members in the relevant district. We will also post this information and a picture of each candidate on our website. A short biography and a statement about why you are running for election will help voters get to know you better.
