An open letter to CMAAC Members &
TCM Community
Since the establishment of CMAAC in 1983, we have
maintained our purpose of serving our members , TCM
community and general public at large: helping initiate
the development of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture
profession; upholding and protecting the duty and right
of the TCM practitioners; uniting the TCM communityand helping advance the modernization of the
knowledge and technology; and to constantly educate
on the matter of public health to all Canadians.
Our organization will keep running and scheduling
seminars regularly to strive for the support of Canadian
and Chinese communities and the regulation of the
practice of TCM and Acupuncture. We made contact
with and liaise various levels of Government officials in
assisting to arrange forums and seminars for our
members and the public. We also negotiate with the
insurance providers in the extended-healthcare
insurance claim matters.
With the help and support of our members, we
walked through hand in hand for 30 years on a rough
and bumpy path. In Ontario and Newfoundland &
Labrador, the profession of TCM/ Acupuncture is now
regulated, most practitioners in the TCM community are
either grandparented or registered in the general class
to practice in the provinces. We sincerely offer our
cordial greetings on your success and wish you all in your
advancement of your profession to a higher level, and to
make a contribution to the healthcare service for the
Canadians.
In the new era, we are going to promote the
regulation drive in other provinces that the profession
yet to be regulated. Till then, a new task is waiting for us
all, it is our duty to protect the members right: to
ensure a fair and balanced policy is implemented on
both registered and yet to be registered members of the
College. We will keep track on the Parties support, to
race against time to strive for the Doctors title and
preserve the use of Chinese language within the
profession.As you all know CMAAC is a non-profit organization
which relies heavily on its volunteers (chapter
presidents, members, and all other contributors of TCM
and Acupuncture) and their sacrifices of time and effort
to further the causes and missions of CMAAC. CMAAC is
proud of the efforts to obtain Regulation in many
provinces, most recently Ontario, but assures members
they continue to push forward and strive for regulation
across Canada. CMAAC hopes that members and chapter
presidents continue to be united together to help
further the goals and to preserve their faith and hope.
CMAAC would like to thank everyone for their efforts
and sacrifices and we invite you all to work together for
a better and brighter future.
Dear Colleagues, Our Vice-President
(External), Dr. Susan Makray-Corey, passeaway on April 10, 2013
In Loving Memory of Our Former VP-
External, Dr. Susan Makray
Her beautiful soul went to be with the Lord, peacefully at home
in Innisfil in her 50th year on April 10, 2013.
Dr. Susan Makray, had been a member of the CMAAC since
1985 and Vice-President (External) of CMAAC since 2008. Her
dedication in promoting TCM/A in Ontario was evident with he
natural abilities in reaching out to the TCM/A community with
CMAAC and other Associations in Ontario and across Canada.
Before she passed away, she has been working hard with other
Associations in Canada for the HST-exemption from
acupuncture services. In addition, she has represented CMAAC
and Canada as one of the delegates for the World Federation o
Acupuncture-Moxibustion Societies (WFAS) Conferences. As a
TCM practitioner, she has helped many people (notably with
World Class Figure Skaters and accompanying them to World
Championships and the Olympics) in her successful practice in
Barrie and north of Toronto. She has set example for the TCM/
community with her passion for TCM/A and what she believes
TCM/A can offer to the public. Though we know Dr. Makray can
offer so much still for the future of TCM/A in Canada and thepeople she could have helped, we will, most of all, miss her
laughs and her smiles she had such a way of bringing people
together, regardless of race and culture. We shall always
treasure the memories we had with Dr. Makray.
A tree will be planted in memory of Dr. Susan Makray in the
Dods & McNair Memorial Forest at the Island Lake Conservatio
Area, Orangeville. A dedication service will be held on Sunday,
September 8th, 2013 at 2:30 p.m.
