The formation of the BCTTNS had its beginnings in June of 1996 when a small group of interested Therapeutic Touch practitioners met with Mary Simpson from the Ontario Therapeutic Touch® Network to discuss the idea of starting a Network in B.C. On January 20, 1997, the British Columbia Therapeutic Touch® Network was formally identified as an entity when it had an approved mandate and a Steering Committee formed by volunteers who assumed various committee positions. It now consists of a full executive and a representative from each of 10 regions around the province.
