A volunteer Board of Directors, composed of 13 members, is responsible for governing CCSA. The directors meet face-to-face three to four times per year.
The Governor in Council appoints the Chair and up to four additional board members may be appointed. These appointments come on the recommendation of the Minister of Health after the Minister has consulted with the Board.
The Board may appoint up to eight additional directors. These appointments come after consultations with the provincial and territorial governments and with any individuals and organization representatives. They represent the business and labour community, and professional and voluntary organizations. These organizations also have a particular interest in alcohol and drug use that the Board considers appropriate.
Board members serve a three-year term. Extensions of up to two additional terms are possible.
