Council

The Council is the governing body of the CLPNS. Members of the profession, LPNs, are appointed to the Council. The Council must consist of the Chair, Vice-Chair, a minimum of three LPNs and three Government appointees. In addition, Members of the Public are appointed to the Council.

The Council is responsible for the regulation of the Licensed Practical Nurse profession in Saskatchewan. The CLPNS is accountable for ensuring the CLPNS regulates in the interest of the public and not the interest of the profession. The Council is delegated the authority to regulate the LPN profession by the legislature through a piece of legislation called “The Licensed Practical Nurses Act, 2000”. The Act outlines the regulatory and administrative responsibilities of the CLPNS  and the Council.

The Council fulfils its responsibilities through a process called governance. Governance includes setting the overall direction of the CLPNS by developing a strategic plan and policies that guide the organization in its work.   The Council delegates responsibilities to the Executive Director and monitors the organization’s progress and status through the Executive Director.
