Notes from the Chair
By Olin Anton, FCPA, FCA
S
ince the inaugural board was appointed by the Minister of Advanced Education this summer, we’ve made several key decisions for CPABC. At our first meeting in June, the board
elected an executive, ensuring representation from all three legacy organizations. As I
mentioned in the last issue of the magazine, I was extremely honoured to be asked to chair this

executive and board with experience in governance to help establish best-in-class policies for
our new organization. CPABC’s board members are featured on page 20.

the Transitional Steering Committee and adopt CPABC’s initial bylaws, regulations, and code
of conduct. These have been in effect since June 24 when our legislation came into force, so
