The Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario announced Oct. 14 that it is seeking new members to join its Consumer Advisory Panel to serve two-year terms. Applications including a current resume and covering letter stating why the applicant is interested in serving on the panel, are being accepted until Friday, Nov. 18.

The panel of consumers and consumer representatives with experience in regulated sectors provides advice, from a consumer perspective, on proposed FSRA policy changes. Part of the regulator’s stakeholder engagement process, the panel also helps to identify topics to be considered by FSRA’s consumer office. “Applicants will be selected based on their relevant experience, skills, knowledge, and perspectives, with an emphasis on the sectors FSRA regulates,” the regulator states in its call for applications. 

The panel meets up to six times a year. FSRA says additional meetings may be called as required.
