Manitoba Society of Occupational Therapists is the advocate for Manitoba’s occupational therapists, providing the strong voice essential to building positive work environments for today’s therapists and their clients.
Our activities include:
- Providing representation to municipal, provincial and national government agencies and departments
- Liaising with the Canadian Occupational Therapy Foundation, the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists and the Occupational Therapy Professional Alliance of Canada
- Communicating an occupational therapy position on matters of importance to the profession
- Consulting with the OT Leadership Group at the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority level
- Representing MSOT on the University of Manitoba’s School of Medical Rehabilitation committees and Winnipeg Technical College Rehabilitation Assistant Course Advisory Committee
- Bringing an occupational therapy perspective to such groups as the Alliance for the Prevention of Chronic Disease, the Physical Activity Coalition of Manitoba, and other government and non-governmental organizations to advocate on the health issues important to Manitobans.
