Currently the AWGRMT continues to work closely with the government on revisions
requested by the Minister of Health to the application for regulation of Massage Therapists in
Alberta. As the AWGRMT completes revisions, these are sent to the government for review
and comment, and the AWGRMT integrates the feedback on each revision. This process may
go back and forth several times before no additional comments are provided by the
government, and the revision is considered completed by the AWGRMT for submission to
the Minister of Health.
When the requested revisions are completed, the final draft will be sent to the Board of
Directors of each Association for their review and endorsement.
Once the Associations have provided written endorsement the updated application will be
submitted to the Minister of Health.
At this point the process switches to the Government. The Minister will review the
application and make a decision on the path forward. The process for approval and
legislation of each regulated health profession is different, and as such the Government
provides no timeline for this process.
As we move through this process the AWGRMT will continue to provide updates to the
profession through the associations.
