pleased to present CMTO’s 2025 Annual Report. Our major achievement this year was developing and launching our 2026-2030 Strategic Plan, which renews our purpose and provides clear goals to guide our regulatory work.  \nThis plan builds on our past achievements and defines the priorities the Board will lead over the next five years. Developed with input from over 3 , 600  \nRMTs/ MTs, students, and members of the public, it strives for excellence in public protection while strengthening trust and confidence in the Massage Therapy profession. Ultimately, our focus is simple: ensuring every person seeking care can feel confident they are in the hand s of a qualified professional who can deliver safe, effective clinical care.  \nThe Board is proud of the foundation laid in recent years: modernizing our discipline process, enhancing sexual abuse prevention, updating key Standards of Practice, and expanding engagement. These are essential building blocks for our future.  \nIn 2025, we reaffirmed our commitment to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion ( EDI) by approving a dedicated EDI strategy. Grounded in values of openness, continuous learning, empathy, collaboration, and dignity, it aims to ensure every RMT/ MT and client experiences safe, inclusive care. This is fundamental to our role as a future-focused, compassionate regulator.  \nNone of this is possible without the dedication of your Board, comprised of RMTs/ MTs and public members. This year, I was honoured to be re-elected as a Board Member and Board Chair. I am also pleased to extend a warm welcome to our new members from Districts 6 and 9. Their fresh perspectives are invaluable.  \n2025 | ANNUAL REPORT  \nCO L L EG E O F MASSAG E T H E RA P ISTS O F O NTA R IO 2  \nAs we look ahead, the Board is committed to ensuring every milestone of the Strategic Plan is met. Together, we are fully dedicated to advancing Massage Therapy’s recognition as a trusted, clinical profession.  \nSincerely,  \nSean Adderley, RMT, Board Chair, CMTO  \n2025 | ANNUAL REPORT  \nCO L L EG E O F MASSAG E T H E RA P ISTS O F O NTA R IO 3  \nMessage from Registrar & CEO  \nIt is my pleasure to share CMTO’s 2025 Annual Report. This year was shaped by connection, important updates to our standards, and the launch of a new Strategic Plan that will guide our work in the years ahead.  \nA major theme for me in 2025 was the value of conversation. This year took me across Ontario to Sudbury, London, Belleville, Barrie, Windsor, Hamilton, Ottawa, and throughout the GTA-for Town Halls and visits to twenty Massage Therapy colleges. Speaking with RMTs/ MTs and students face-to-face was invaluable. These conversations allowed me to answer your questions, hear your perspectives on the profession 's challenges and opportunities, and see peers connect with one another. This direct feedback is essential; it grounds our work in the realities of your practice.  \nWe also strengthened our commitment to preventing sexual abuse in the profession.
