Worth knowing
CPD (Continuing Professional Development) is administered provincially with a common national framework: 120 hours per rolling 3-year period, at least 60 verifiable; 20 hours per year, at least 10 verifiable. US-based CPE, including CPE Today courses, generally qualifies as verifiable CPD when it's relevant to your role.
