Happy MRT Week to all CAMRT Members. This week we have exciting contests, a FREE webinar, and more. Make sure to participate and share you're MRT experience with us on social media by using our hashtags and showing us you're an MRT in our Cover Contest!

Happy Thanksgiving weekend to all MRTs in the community - we wish you a safe and memorable long weekend! We are grateful for all the hard work that you do day in and day out. Your vital contributions to the health care of Canadians across the country are truly inspiring.

Today, let's honour the children who never returned home and survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities in recognition of Canada's tragic past with residential schools. You can commemorate the day and raise awareness by wearing an Orange Shirt.

We can’t wait until 2025!
