MAMRT exists, as a member-based association, to represent and support Medical Radiation Technologists in Manitoba, to be its voice, to keep MRTs connected, to promote and advocate the value of the profession, and to work for the advancement and growth of the MRT profession at the provincial level.
When first granted a Charter of Incorporation on November 9, 1956, in the name of The Canadian Society of Radiological Technicians, Manitoba Division, the purpose was stated as:
“To carry on without pecuniary gain, objects of a national, patriotic, religious, philanthropic, charitable, scientific, artistic, social, professional or sporting character or the like.”
The MAMRT’s Constitution and Bylaws refines the Charter, by setting out these nine purposes, which then guide and inform MAMRT’s strategic planning.
1. Promote and encourage the science and art of Medical Radiation Technology and to consider and discuss all subjects affecting it.
2. Promote, assist, guide, encourage and form a central association for Medical Radiation Technologists throughout the Province of Manitoba.
