Our new strategic plan: Building Public Trust and Confidence 2030

Home 5 News 5 Our new strategic plan: Building Public Trust and Confidence 2030

February 18, 2026

The College of Health and Care Professionals of BC (CHCPBC) is pleased to share our first strategic plan titled Building Public Trust and Confidence 2030. The plan reflects our longer-term 2030 vision, mandate, and purpose, with our unique value proposition articulated, and our cooperatively developed core values, service charter, and four strategic pillars. Within the longer-term plan is our two-year 2026–2028 action plan. This plan outlines our specific goals, outcomes, and actions that are ambitious but achievable within a two-year timeframe.

CHCPBC did not have a strategic plan when it was created by amalgamation on June 28, 2024. Our immediate priority was to ensure that the work of regulating nine health professions could continue and that our mandate to serve the public was upheld. In early 2025, as the College reached a point of greater organizational stability, we moved forward with the development of a strategic plan to provide clear direction within current and future regulatory contexts.

Original artwork created by Stz’uminus First Nation artist Dan Elliott is woven throughout the pages of our plan. The painting titled “Dawn Awaits” was commissioned to represent CHCPBC as a new college, building on the theme “All Aboard Our Canoe.” The artwork symbolizes where we are in our journey as an organization—and where we are headed. It depicts disparate people coming together to launch the canoe, and incorporates elements from both Indigenous cultural practices and Western colonial influence.

Building Public Trust and Confidence 2030 builds on our foundational work to date. The plan focuses on delivering core regulatory services while recognizing that we oversee the practice of a diverse group of health professions with distinct histories and clinical contexts. We are launching this plan during a period of rapid evolution in both regulatory and health systems, as public expectations of regulators and healthcare providers continue to intensify. The public rightfully expect competence and accountability in the delivery of health services.
