Dear colleagues,
I am pleased to bring you this update from the February CRNS Council meeting.
We began our meeting with a blessing from Knowledge Keeper and Cultural Advisor, Judy Pelly, who opened the day with a heartfelt prayer. We are deeply grateful for Judy’s teachings and the guidance she provides as we continue our journey toward reconciliation. Her insights are invaluable as we expand our understanding of Indigenous culture, beliefs and practices.
Following this, Council received Committee reports from Audit and Finance, Legislation and Bylaws and Governance and HR, plus operational updates from the Executive Director and Registrar, Cindy Smith and the leadership team. Council always appreciates these updates and is pleased with the hard work and dedication of the CRNS staff.
Brent Kitchen, Presenter, Enterprise Risk Management
Council continued their work in the area of Enterprise Risk Management and oversight responsibilities. They set the principles and processes that the CRNS will use to address risk associated with planning, performance management and operations.
Bradley Chisholm, Principal and Founder of The Regulator's Practice
On day two, Bradley Chisholm, Principal and Founder of The Regulator’s Practice, returned to facilitate a discussion and deeper understanding of governance oversight responsibilities and the tools that can be used to support this work. This included practical next steps to enhance oversight at the CRNS.
Thank you for your continued dedication to caring for the public.
Sincerely,
Moni Snell, NP
