CMTO’s 2026-2030 Strategic Plan

January 21, 2026

We are pleased to share our new 2026-2030 Strategic Plan. This plan was developed with input from more than 3,600 people across Ontario, including RMTs/MTs, students, educators, and members of the public. Your contributions helped us identify CMTO’s priorities and goals, which will guide our work over the next five years and help ensure Ontarians continue to receive safe, ethical, and high-quality Massage Therapy care. CMTO is committed to delivering its Strategic Priorities with Transparency, Collaboration, and a commitment to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. Our 2026-2030 Strategic Priorities are:

1) Professional Conduct and Accountability to Protect the Public

We will maintain our focus on preventing misconduct — including sexual abuse and insurance fraud — while upholding the highest professional standards to ensure public safety and high-quality care.

2) Clear, Fair and Effective Regulation

We will build on our strong foundation to ensure our standards and processes are transparent, modern, and forward-looking.

3) Trust in Massage Therapy as a Health Profession

We will strengthen the position of Massage Therapy as a regulated, clinical health profession and core component of health care.
