Position Statement on Entry to Practice Qualifications

Since 1996 the Canadian Therapeutic Recreation Association (CTRA) has been promoting the allyship of helping professionals across the country. In fact, this organization was incorporated with the mission of bringing people with different educational backgrounds, from different health-related work settings, together as a collective to resolve common issues.
