We Want to Showcase Our Members!
Did you know that CTRA has a recognition wall on the website? Our goal is to improve and expand on this section of the CTRA website. In order to do so we are asking our members if you know of a Recreation Therapist or team of Recreation Therapist’s who deserve to be recognized for their efforts in the field?
Please send information to Sara at websiteadmin@canadian-tr.org
Let’s start celebrating our profession nationwide together!
