In 1966 the CATA held it first annual meeting on Canadian soil in Toronto. The CATA has continued to hold annual meetings at their National Conference. CATA originally stood for Canadian Athletic Trainers' Association, and the word Trainers' was dropped in favor of Therapists to represent the changing landscape of Sport in Canada. During the first meeting, the first executive board was selected. The first President of the CATA was Mert Prophet.〔(The Journal of the Canadian Athletic Therapists' Association, 1990 Issue ) 〕 The current 2014 president of the CATA is Dr. Richard DeMont.

There are currently 7 CATA Accredited Athletic Therapy programs in Canada. The Athletic Therapy program at Sheridan College was the first program of its kind in Canada, and was founded in 1973. Camosun College was the most recently added institution, receiving full accreditation in 2009. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canadian Athletic Therapists Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
