Strategic Priorities Overview
Our plan includes three strategic priorities designed to shape the future of pharmacy regulation:
- Support Manitoba’s Pharmacy Workforce
Empower pharmacy professionals with tools and resources to deliver high-quality care. This includes improving standards of practice, enhancing the quality assurance program, and developing an accessible complaints process.
- Prepare for and Shape Legislative Changes
Proactively lead legislative changes to modernize pharmacy practice, including transitioning to the Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA) and addressing workforce and regulatory challenges.
- Build and Support Operational Infrastructure
Strengthen CPhM internal systems through a digital strategy roadmap, risk management, and optimization of operational processes to support efficient regulation.
Each priority is grounded in DEIB+A principles, ensuring inclusive and equitable pharmacy practices for all Manitobans.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, and Accessibility (DEIB+A)
DEIB+A is not a standalone initiative, it is the foundation of every aspect of our Strategic Plan. We are committed to fostering inclusivity and equity in all our work, ensuring pharmacy regulation reflects the needs of Manitoba’s diverse communities.
Recent initiatives that align with our DEIB+A commitment include:
- Updated Land Acknowledgment: Reflecting our dedication to cultural humility, reconciliation, and fostering an inclusive pharmacy profession, this acknowledgment was developed with input from Indigenous communities and other key stakeholders. Read our Land Acknowledgment.
- New Purpose Statement and Guiding Principles: These updates further strengthen our foundation and support the vision outlined in the Strategic Plan. Learn about our Purpose and Principles.
By embedding DEIB+A into every initiative, we ensure Manitoba’s pharmacy profession continues to meet the needs of all equity-seeking groups, including Indigenous, rural, francophone, and other communities.
