The mandate of the NSCMIRTP is the protection of the public interest. A College does not provide association services or registrant-focused benefits. The NSCMIRTP appreciates the transition period from Association/Society to College is a process and clarity between the two roles may be unclear for many registrants.

For registrants seeking information about association services, we wish to encourage you to inform yourself of the new Future of Member Services model the CAMRT (National Association) is offering MRTs in Atlantic Canada. CAMRT discussed this topic previously at the AMRTA Conference Sept 12th. If you missed it, please see the link to the full recording in the comments below.

📢The virtual town hall regarding the Future of Member Services, held by CAMRT, is this Friday Jan 15th @ noon for Nova Scotians. To register, please follow the link below.
