Consultations

At COKO, we often asks Registered Kinesiologists, the public and other partners for their feedback on proposed policies, processes, standards and by-laws. These consultations are a great way to share your thoughts on COKO’s work.

We value your opinion and all feedback will be considered. You can rest assured that all survey responses will remain anonymous and confidential, and will only be reported in aggregate form.
