This year, we are handing this project back to you. Reach out to your city or provincial government with the template letter and send us any letters you receive, we will share them!2021 Letters, submitted by you!
In 2020, the CSRT proudly partnered with many great communities across Canada to highlight of all of the hard work and dedication Respiratory Therapists had displayed over that past year, in particular support for Canadians through the COVID-19 pandemic.
