We are pleased to announce the release of the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario’s (CMTO) 2024 Annual Report. The Report is a reflection of CMTO’s collective progress, achievements, and milestones from the past year.

Fostering Engagement: We continued fostering meaningful engagement with Registered Massage Therapists/Massage Therapists (RMTs/MTs), educators, and students by hosting several events across Ontario, notably the Town Halls and the 2024 Prevention of Sexual Abuse Seminar.

Sexual Abuse Prevention: The 2024 Prevention of Sexual Abuse Seminar brought together educators with experts including WomanACT, who provided a survivor-informed perspective, and a panel of healthcare professionals who shared strategies for teaching abuse prevention.

Regulation Modernization: CMTO was granted authority to approve Massage Therapy education programs starting January 2027. This ensures only graduates from Canadian Massage Therapy Council for Accreditation accredited programs will be eligible to become RMTs/MTs.

Looking Forward: The College is focused on developing a new Strategic Plan for 2026-2030 and remains committed to shaping a resilient future of modern Massage Therapy regulation in public interest.

We invite you to read our new Annual Report (English PDF) (version française) to learn more about CMTO’s work and strategic initiatives for 2024.
