Why is the College raising dues for 2026?

In 2024 the College ran a substantial deficit of over $250K and in 2025 we are projecting a ~$40K deficit. This is not sustainable. Inflationary pressures such as increased costs like rent, salaries and IT equipment along with increased expectations from the provincial government and the public has required the College in invest in its capacity to deliver on its mandate. The College has also increased investments in compliance activities related to unlawful use of title and/or unlawful practice (practice infringement) as per the definition in the Applied Biologists Regulation.
