Legislation

The College receives its authority from two pieces of provincial legislation: 

• The Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991
• The Kinesiology Act, 2007

Regulations

There are three regulations under the Kinesiology Act, 2007 that help regulate the profession: 

• Registration
• Quality Assurance
• Professional Misconduct

Process for creation

Legislation is created by government. Regulations are created by Council and they help regulate the profession. If Council determines a need for a regulation, it will develop a draft and circulate it to stakeholders for comment. The comments are reviewed and incorporated into a final version. The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care must approve all regulations made by health profession regulators. By-laws are created by Council. Council drafts by-laws and circulates them for comment to stakeholders before final approval.
