TBC Staff

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has the ultimate decision-making and authority for all responsibilities outlined in the Independent Health Facilities Act license agreement, including all matters relating to finances, strategic planning, quality assurance and compliance for the TBC. The Board is made up of a two-thirds registered midwife and majority self-identified Indigenous membership. The Board is accountable to its clients, the communities the TBC serves, government agencies, institutional partners and community stakeholders.

Quality Advisory Committee

The Quality Advisory Committee oversees the activities of the Quality Management Program and reports on them to the Board.  As a committee of the Board, it will focus on safety monitoring and evaluation of services at the Birth Centre.

Midwives Council

The Midwives’ Council supports the integrity and excellence of the clinical program of the Toronto Birth Centre. Along with its committees and working groups, it is the primary means for midwives to have input into the culture and day-to-day aspects of the TBC.  The main goal of the Midwives’ Council is to provide all affiliated midwives, midwifery practices and clinically affiliated hospitals an opportunity to participate in shaping clinical policies and protocols.

Community Council

The TBC Community Council (Council) endeavors to create, support and foster a culturally secure environment for the Indigenous families, midwives and staff of Toronto Birth Centre (TBC). Through active community engagement, educational services and consultation, the Council works to uphold the cultural integrity of TBC’s core values: Self Determination, Equity, Dignity, and Justice.
