Observer Guidelines

  • Council meetings are held in the Council chambers at the College of Nurses. If a portion of the meeting is closed to the public, it will be decided by Council on the first day and announced for observers. There are morning and afternoon refreshment breaks and a one-hour break for lunch.
  • Members and the public attend Council meetings as observers. Observers do not participate in the meeting.
  • Observers should limit their comings and goings throughout the meeting. If you need to leave the Council Chambers between scheduled breaks, please use the door marked "Council Chamber Exit" at the north end of the Council chamber, where the observer seating is located.
  • Observers will receive a package for the meeting containing background papers. The package may be kept for future reference or left behind for recycling.
  • Be quiet during the meeting. The acoustics in the Council Chambers are particularly good and side conversations are distracting. If you wish to have a discussion, leave the meeting and rejoin it later.
  • If anyone attending a Council meeting wishes to record it, he/she must notify the Council Affairs Coordinator prior to the meeting’s start. The recording may not disrupt the meeting.
  • Do not speak with, or pass notes and information to, Council members during the meeting.
  • Turn off cell phones and pagers while in Council Chambers.
  • Refrain from wearing perfume or aftershave.

If you have any questions after the meeting, contact:

Jenna Hofbauer, Council Affairs Coordinator, by calling 416 963-7566 ext. 6302, or toll-free in Ontario at 1 800 387-5526, ext. 6302; or by e-mail at jhofbauer@cnomail.org

Note: There is no on-site parking for observers.
