Who We Are
CPBC is located on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaking peoples in the territories of the xʷməθkʷəyə̓ m (Musqueam) and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, and the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh-ulh Sníchim speaking peoples (Squamish Nation). These nations have existed here for over 9000 years, and we continue to support their inherent rights and title to these lands and waters.
As a health profession regulator, CPBC is committed to being an inclusive and collaborative regulator, dedicated to regulating pharmacies and pharmacy professionals in support of public safety, optimal health, and culturally-safe, equitable care – free from Indigenous-specific and other forms of racism.
Our Values
Accountability
- We value the importance of our work and take responsibility for our decisions, words and actions.
Integrity
- We act ethically, honestly and in good faith.
Indigenous Cultural Safety and Humility
- We help to ensure that Indigenous Peoples have access to a culturally safe healthcare system, free from Indigenous-specific racism.
Respect
- We value the feelings, culture and preferences of others and recognize that they are as important as our own.
Committee Member Competencies
CPBC committees are composed of members with diverse experiences, backgrounds and perspectives to promote comprehensive discussions that accurately represent the demographic make-up of British Columbia.
To achieve this, the CPBC Board has developed a Board Composition Matrix outlining the essential competencies for an effective Board, including the desired values, skills, experiences, and knowledge for optimal composition. Its components are also applied towards the committee appointment process and the Board Composition Matrix serves as a tool to identify and address any gaps in an individual committee’s collective capabilities.
We strongly advise potential committee members to review the Board Composition Matrix thoroughly, as it will guide our assessment of candidates for available committee positions.
Indigenous Cultural Safety and Humility, Anti-Racism and InclusivityCPBC recognizes that systemic racism and intolerance toward traditional Indigenous perspectives and approaches to health, as well as the enduring impacts of colonialism, continue to result in persistent barriers and greater health disparities for Indigenous Peoples in British Columbia. Our committees are committed to taking active steps to identify, address, prevent and eliminate Indigenous-specific and other forms of racism and discrimination within our healthcare system. Diverse voices are vital to our committees to ensure that all decisions respect unique cultural perspectives, including the specific rights, interests, priorities and concerns of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples. |
