Fonctionnement
The association, not being an accredited or legal body, does not have any sources of revenue, and makes no disbursements. Costs associated with the CATRA-sponsored functions are paid by the Chair’s organization. Occasionally all provincial programs share in conference and other costs through a registration fee. On occasion, fees for research, communication, internet are shared among members of CATRA.
Currently one conference is held annually, normally in the Chair’s region.
Program operators continue to hold regional monthly telephone conferences and one annual national telephone conference.
