At the May 1, 2025 meeting, Council approved changes to the ACP Bylaws regarding elections. Council districts for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians have been rescinded, and moving forward regulated members from anywhere in Alberta may apply for nomination when a seat on Council (within their respective profession) becomes available for election, regardless of where the regulated member lives or practises. This change will take effect in the next Council election in 2026. Council members elected prior to July 1, 2025, will remain in their position for the balance of their term. Council will still consist of five elected pharmacists, two elected pharmacy technicians, and seven public members appointed by the Minister of Health.
In addition, the Council election cycle has been amended. Beginning in 2026, Council elections will conclude in May to allow newly elected Council members to attend the June Council meeting as observers. This serves as an ideal opportunity for a preliminary introduction of new Council members to their roles and responsibilities.
