The College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO) is looking for Registered Massage Therapists (“RMTs” or “MTs”), in good standing, to serve on CMTO Committees as non-Council members for a one-year term. Preference is given to those RMTS who hold an active General Certificate of registration. Non-Council members are paid a pro-rated per diem of $275.00 based on full-day meetings and some preparation time. Meetings are primarily conducted virtually. However, should the need arise, an in-person meeting may be required. Out-of-pocket expenses, such as accommodations, meals and travel, will be reimbursed in accordance with CMTO’s compensation policy.

What is the role of a non-Council member?

Non-Council members are not members of Council. They do not have to be elected to the position and are not required to attend Council meetings. Non-Council members serve on Committees to participate in decision making about RMTs’ practise and conduct, and review applications for registration where concerns are identified. Non-Council members may also participate in the development of policies, Standards of Practice and guidelines.

How do I apply?

1. Review the following documents to determine whether you have the required competencies and are able to meet the time commitment requirements:
