In June, the College celebrated 20 years of protecting the public interest. Here’s a snapshot of some of the events that brought together education stakeholders and the public in the name of regulatory excellence.
Doors Open
The College opened its doors to the public on May 27–28 as part of Doors Open Toronto, which provides free access to 150 of Toronto’s most architecturally, historically, culturally and socially significant buildings.
College staff hosted tours for more than 400 people who visited its office at 101 Bloor St. W., as part of Doors Open Toronto. The public learned about who we are, what we do and how we set the standard for great teaching in Ontario.
