A Vote Yes for CAMRT-SK
Between September 9-13, 2024, CAMRT members in Saskatchewan (student and temporary practice members do not have voting privileges) voted YES to implementing CAMRT-SK, a new model for provincial association services in Saskatchewan. 48.4% of eligible voters cast a ballot, well exceeding the minimum number of votes required for a valid vote. The results were a resounding YES, with 89.5% voting in favour of CAMRT-SK.
The results give us a solid mandate to work with you to establish a representative advisory council, hire a dedicated provincial manager, and implement this transition in time for the 2025 membership year.
Why was there a Vote?
To date, CMRIPS has been performing limited provincial association services, in support of you, the professional. Soon this role will shift from providing association services to solely the protection of the public. As such, CMRIPS will no longer be able to fulfill many of the important member services on which you, as an MRT, rely such as provincial advocacy, professional development (conferences), and member recognition.
As a result, CAMRT was approached to begin the conversation about a possible Saskatchewan arm of the CAMRT, called CAMRT-SK. CAMRT-SK will focus on MRTs and the MRT profession in your province — ensuring that your voice is heard on important decisions provincially and that you are supported and recognized for the essential work that you do. The cost for provincial services under the CAMRT-SK model would be $51.50 per year (in addition to your national CAMRT dues). These dues will pay for a CAMRT employee to deliver provincial services and advocacy in Saskatchewan, similar to what CAMRT provides in other provinces.
What is CAMRT-SK?
CAMRT-SK will be a Saskatchewan provincial arm of the CAMRT and represents an additional suite of programs, services and provincial advocacy in addition to your CAMRT membership. Below are some of the provincial services and support that will be available through the CAMRT-SK.
Representing and Supporting You at the Provincial Level
The cost for provincial association services through CAMRT-SK will be $51.50 per year for full a practice members in addition to your CAMRT dues. The will be $32.45 per year for non-practicing members and $0 per year for senior members. These fees will allow us to provide programs, services and advocacy at the provincial level.
