PAC & CPC endorsement

The College of Pedorthics of Canada Statement of Support for OPREG

The College of Pedorthics of Canada (CPC) supports the Ontario Pedorthic Regulation Exploratory Group (OPREG) initiative as they
endeavor to seek provincial regulation in Ontario. Provincial regulation is an undertaking of both time and money.

We support their effort and believe that the public and our organization will benefit nationally from the experience they gain in seeking government regulation. The CPC was created and modelled after provincially regulated professions and the information we have as an organization will be shared with OPREG in their efforts. The CPC will support OPREG while maintaining the national perspective.

The Pedorthic Association of Canada Statement of Support for OPREG

The Pedorthic Association of Canada (PAC) supports the pursuit of government regulation of pedorthics as a means to greater recognition and respect for the profession within the general public, the medical community, and the insurance industry.
 
As regulation of healthcare professions is a provincial matter it is difficult for PAC to assume this task nationwide. As such, PAC commends and endorses the work the members of the Ontario Pedorthic Regulation Exploratory Group (OPREG) have undertaken towards this goal and thanks those PAC members who have contributed financially to aid OPREG in their pursuit.
 
PAC makes a financial contribution to OPREG as our Board of Directors believes that the work done by OPREG to date and planned for the future is beneficial for the entire profession. PAC makes this investment in OPREG on behalf of members nationwide, with confidence that should other provinces wish to pursue regulation the knowledge and experience gained by OPREG will prove invaluable.
