Naturopathicmedicine was first regulated in Ontario in 1923 under the Medicine Act andthen in 1925 under the DPA and regulations under that Act. The currentgoverning body for naturopathy is the BDDT-N.Once proclaimed in force, the Naturopathy Act, 2007 will bring theprofession under the RHPA and will establish the College of Naturopaths ofOntario. The new Act is expected to come into force before June 2009, and atransitional council of the new College, which includes all members of theBDDT-N, will develop the foundational regulations, by-laws and standards ofpractice for the profession.7Ibid: s. 11.HPRAC Critical Links January 2009
