Provide Your Feedback
As a part of its mandate to protect the public interest, the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO) needs to develop or change regulations, by-laws, policies, Standards of Practice, and other practice resources. Gathering feedback and comments from the public, RMTs, educators and others helps CMTO understand the effectiveness and impact of the proposed changes. This process is a called a consultation. Before adopting any new changes, CMTO carefully considers the comments and feedback it receives.
