2022 Reserved Practice Outreach

As the College moves towards the September 1, 2022 implementation date of the reserved practice in applied biology, and as per the College's 2022 reserved practice outreach plan, the College will be conducting outreach to registrants, employers, governments and other stakeholders in a variety of formats. Please review this page for information about the ways that you can learn more about reserved practice, its implications for practitioners, and its effects on the natural resource sector as a whole.

Please note that the scheduled dates for some of these events is subject to change. Check back often as new dates will be added and recordings will be made available.

Illustrative Documents

The College has posted a full library of illustrative documents regarding reserved practice for applied biology. This library covers topics such as the definitions of regulated and reserved practices, the pathways to registration with the College, and areas of intersection between applied biology and other professions in the natural resource sector.

Webinars

The College will be offering webinars throughout the summer of 2022 to inform registrants, employers and other stakeholders about the implementation of reserved practice and to answer questions about the process.

The webinar content will primarily be the same for each session (although some elements made be added based on the results of previous sessions), so you won’t need to attend every session:
