The Health Profession Regulators of BC has been nominated for an award from the Council on Licensure, Enforcement and Regulation (CLEAR) for its “Our Purpose, Your Safety” campaign designed to raise awareness of the importance of regulated health professions and their responsibility to ensure safe, ethical, and effective care.
The College of Pharmacists of BC was a key player in the development and September 2013 launch of the campaign, which utilized bus shelter ads, television spots as well as newspaper ads as a key means of getting the message out to the widest number of British Columbians.

- Chinese (Traditional)

- French
- Korean
- Persian
- Punjabi
- Spanish
