About SaskRTEC

Our History

Our Core Values

Our Mission

SaskRTEC was established in January 2025 by a group of Registered Respiratory Therapists in Saskatchewan with the objective of providing high-quality, research-based educational opportunities to respiratory therapy professionals across the province. Following the implementation of new legislation, the Saskatchewan College of Respiratory Therapists (SCRT) was no longer able to offer educational conferences to its members, necessitating this transition. One year later, SaskRTEC has formally incorporated as a non-profit organization under the name Saskatchewan Respiratory Therapy Education Committee Inc.
