Welcome
The Canadian Training Institute is a National Voluntary Organization (Charitable Registration Number 88660-5997-RR0001) which provides training,
consulting assistance, promotes collaborative action and undertakes applied research projects in contributing to the effectiveness of services
delivered by criminal justice and related human service agencies in Canada.
CTI is committed to fostering inclusivity, equality and life long learning by enhancing services which assist individuals to participate as responsible,
valued and contributing members of Canadian society.
In this respect CTI assists in the development of knowledge, skills and services that reduce crime, promote active participation and
ultimately contribute to healthy individuals, agencies and communities.
Our Mission
We believe that change begins within, and that individuals who possess enhanced self-awareness, empowered to excel at what they do best, are the
foundation of continuous improvement in service and excellence.
Our mission is to increase the effectiveness of client services delivered by criminal justice and other integrated behavioural
health services through training, networking, collaborative action and by facilitating personal, professional and
organizational development worldwide.
More than five thousand individuals have received certified training through CTI. They are predominantly staff members and
volunteers in residential and related programs addressing family violence, mental health, addictions, ex-offenders, and the
physically or mentally challenged. Our challenge is to develop and to deliver high quality, relevant training at the lowest
possible cost. CTI also provides consulting assistance in a range of areas, including organizational reviews, analysis and redesign,
team building, training needs assessment, and action research.
