The College of Pharmacists of Manitoba invites all pharmacy professionals to attend an information webinar on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. This live webinar will provide essential insights into the transition of pharmacy regulation under The Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA). A recording will be available afterward on the Regulatory Reform Project webpage.

During the session, consultants Leanne Matthes and Liz Ambrose will explain what the RHPA is, how regulation under the RHPA differs from the current single-profession statute, what is required to move pharmacy professionals from regulation under The Pharmaceutical Act to regulation under RHPA, and the anticipated impact on all pharmacy professionals.

All pharmacy professionals are encouraged to participate to ensure a thorough understanding of the upcoming regulatory changes.
