Renewal 2023 | Board Meeting | Office Closure
 

Late renewal fees are now in effect

COBC's annual renewal period is into its final weeks, and late fees are in effect. Any registrant who has not yet renewed their licence through their online account should do so as soon as possible.

Do you know someone who hasn't renewed? Encourage them to do so by Sunday, April 30 to avoid being suspended. Remember: only registrants of COBC are entitled to use the title "optician."

 
 

Board meeting

COBC's spring board meeting will take place at our offices at 200 Granville Street on Thursday, May 11, beginning at 9:00 AM. Registrants are invited to RSVP by emailing Christopher Dodge at cdodge@cobc.ca.

April office closure

The COBC team will be offline Friday, April 7 through Monday, April 10. If you run into issues with your online account, have questions about CCP, or otherwise need our help over the long weekend, our team will be responding to calls and emails once we're back at our desks on Tuesday, April 11.

Enjoy the holiday!
