Joint Funding Agreement with CMTBC

The RMTBC is pleased to announce a joint funding agreement with the CMTBC, that will enable you to complete the College’s mandatory Boundaries and Consent course free of charge – a savings of $100 for every RMT in BC.
“RMTs are doing their part during a tough time for everyone,” acknowledges Gordon MacDonald, Executive Director of RMTBC. “We’re very happy to be supporting our profession as it supports the pandemic response.” He notes that this funding partnership will assist all RMTs in BC, not just RMTBC members.
For details, please read the agreement available below and on the rmtbc.ca/covid web page.
