Why is there a 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.
Why was there a Vote?
Up until recently, CMRIPS had been performing limited provincial association services, in support of you, the professional. This role recently shifted from providing association services to solely the protection of the public. As such, CMRIPS is no longer be able to fulfill many of the important member services on which you, as an MRT, have relied 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’s focus is 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 is $51.50 (for 2025) in addition to your national CAMRT dues. These dues will pay for CAMRT to deliver provincial services and advocacy in Saskatchewan, similar to what CAMRT provides in other provinces.
