THE CITY
OF
VICTORIA
OFFICE
OF THE
MAYOR
Greetings from the City of Victoria
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the City of Victoria for the National
Conference of the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists.
Located on the Coast Salish Sea on the southeast tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria enjoys
the mildest climate in Canada and is green and beautiful year-round. Victoria is home to
Canada’s oldest Chinatown and British Columbia’s Parliament Buildings and features
stunning turn-of-the-century architecture throughout the city. Voted Canada’s Most
Walkable City, I trust you will enjoy exploring our beautiful city.
An active year-round cycling community and many kilometers of bicycle lanes and paths
have earned us the great honour of being the Cycling Capital of Canada, as well as the
Fittest City. We are home to a thriving tech sector, earning us the nickname, “Tectoria”,
and were voted Canada’s Smartest City by McLean’s Magazine.
May in Victoria is a beautiful time. I encourage you to walk along our premiere trail
system, photograph the cherry blossoms in Beacon Hill Park, explore our wonderful
downtown, and meet some of the great people that call Victoria home.
Known as the City of Gardens, voted Canada’s Most Romantic City, and a top North
American Micro City of the Future, Victoria is a beautiful place to visit, to learn and to
live. Whether you are taking a tour of our world class museum, feeding the seals at
Fisherman’s Wharf, or shopping in our heritage downtown core, I know that you will
enjoy your time with us.
Thank you for visiting Victoria. I wish you all the best in your deliberations and a
successful conference.
Sincerely,
Dean Fortin

Welcome to Victoria!
Bienvenue à Victoria!
Victoria is a cosmopolitan city in an intimate setting. The capital city of British Columbia is world-renowned for its charming
ambience. The city exemplifies the historical relationship between its First Nations and British heritage seen in the buildings and totem poles. Victoria boasts the mildest climate in
Canada and embraces its natural surroundings.
Victoria est une ville cosmopolite établie dans un décor intimiste. La capitale de la Colombie-Britannique est réputée dans
le monde pour son charme et son ambiance chaleureuse. Les
édifices patrimoniaux et les totems érigés dans la ville témoignent à la fois de l’histoire des Premières nations et des Britanniques. Victoria est fière de ses beautés naturelles et de son
climat, qui est le plus tempéré au Canada.
Victoria itself is a very walkable city, but if you are looking for
more than just a stroll through the streets we have plenty of
hiking and walking trails to choose from that will provide you
with fresh mountain air and sweeping vistas. Our city has long
been known as the “City of Gardens.” With our mild climate,
gardening is a year round passion. We have a hanging basket
tradition that spans over 75 years. Victoria has something for
everyone! There is so much to do and see, it’s just a matter of
choosing.
Art & History
Explore our past and celebrate our rich culture through a variety of galleries, museums, heritage sites and cultural events.
From modern art displayed in charming heritage buildings
to First Nations’ galleries telling the story of Victoria’s cultural
history through art and textiles. Victoria’s art galleries are attractions not-to-be-missed. The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria
houses an impressive collection of over 15,000 objects mainly
from B.C., Canada and Japan
Victoria’s castles and churches provide awe-inspired beautiful architecture and interesting historical significance. The
impressive list includes the well-known sites like the Royal BC
Museum or Hatley Castle and smaller hidden gems like the
Emily Carr House or Point Ellice House.
Outdoor Activities
Victoria is the ideal playground for outdoor adventure enthusiasts. On land or at sea, outdoor activities are possible
year-round in our temperate climate. From zip-lining through
treetops to crescent moon kayaking, diving, hiking or cycling,
whale watching, visitors will find something to delight them.
Willows Beach is one of Victoria’s most popular swimming
beaches. Its shallow, protected water is suitable for young children, while views of Discovery Island and Mount Baker make
basking, swimming or paddling there just that much more
beautiful.
Victoria est la ville idéale pour faire des promenades urbaines,
mais si vous êtes à la recherche de plus longues randonnées,
vous trouverez dans la région des sentiers de marche et de
randonnée où vous pourrez respirer l’air frais des montagnes
et découvrir des paysages à couper le souffle. Victoria est reconnue à travers le monde comme « la ville des jardins ». En
effet, grâce à son climat tempéré, le jardinage est une passion
que l’on peut vivre à longueur d’année. Les paniers de fleurs
suspendus ornant les lampadaires de la ville sont une tradition
depuis 75 ans. À Victoria, il y en a pour tous les goûts! Il y a
tant à faire et à voir, que vous aurez l’embarras du choix.
Art et histoire
Explorez notre histoire et célébrez notre diversité culturelle
en visitant les galeries d’art, les musées et les lieux historiques
et en participant à des activités culturelles. Les galeries d’art
de la ville sont autant de merveilles à découvrir. Vous pourrez explorer l’histoire et la culture de Victoria à travers l’art et
les textiles, en admirant les œuvres d’art modernes ornant les
murs des charmants édifices historiques et les galeries d’art
des Premières nations. Une visite à The Art Gallery of Greater
Victoria vous permettra d’apprécier une collection impressionnante de plus de 15 000 objets provenant principalement
de la Colombie-Britannique et du Japon.
Les châteaux et les églises de Victoria témoignent d’une architecture inspirante ayant un grand intérêt historique. Parmi la
liste impressionnante de sites réputés, se trouvent le Royal BC
Museum ou le Hatley Castle, de même que de petits bijoux
cachés, comme la Emily Carr House ou la Point Ellice House.
Activités de plein-air
Victoria est le terrain de jeu idéal pour les amateurs de pleinair. Que ce soit sur la terre ou sur la mer, il est possible de faire
des activités de plein-air tout au long de l’année, en raison de
notre climat tempéré. De la tyrolienne au sommet des arbres
aux sorties en kayak au clair de lune, en passant par la plongée
sous-marine, la randonnée pédestre ou à bicyclette et l’observation des baleines, les visiteurs seront comblés.
Willows Beach est l’une des plages les plus appréciées de Victoria pour la baignade. Les eaux peu profondes et abritées
sont parfaites pour les jeunes enfants et la vue imprenable sur
Discovery Island et Mount Baker ajoutent une certaine magie
aux activités de plage, à la baignade ou aux randonnées en
kayak.
Réputée pour son sanctuaire d’oiseaux, ses chutes et ses
plages sablonneuses aux eaux peu profondes, Witty’s Lagoon
6
Known for its bird sanctuary, waterfall and sandy beaches with
shallow water, Witty’s Lagoon is great for visitors of all ages.
Located in the Bilston Creek Watershed, the lagoon is formed
where the fresh water meets the salt water. Here you will find
a wheelchair accessible trail and picnic areas. The tidal lagoon
is of particular interest to children or anyone who is interested
in sea life.
est magnifique pour les visiteurs de tous âges. Située dans le
bassin hydrographique de Bilston Creek, la lagune s’est formée
là où l’eau douce rencontre l’eau salée. Vous y trouverez un
sentier accessible pour les personnes en fauteuil roulant et des
aires de pique-nique. La lagune du littoral est un lieu formidable pour les enfants et pour toute personne qui s’intéresse à la
vie marine.
Victoria is a golfer’s dream. With a climate that encourages
golfing year-round, Victoria is home to many of Canada’s most
beautiful and challenging courses. Victoria is also the gate
way to the Vancouver Island Golf Trail, 250 kilometres of Pacific golfing paradise from Victoria to Campbell River with 11
gorgeous golf courses to choose from. Even if your swing isn’t
quite up to par, golfing in Victoria will provide an experience
that will leave your vacation bragging rights intact.
Victoria est l’endroit rêvé pour les golfeurs. Grâce à son climat
qui permet de jouer au golf à l’année, Victoria offre des parcours de golf qui comptent parmi les parcours les plus beaux
et les plus difficiles au Canada. Victoria est aussi la passerelle
vers le Vancouver Island Golf Trail, soit un paradis de 250 kilomètres pour les golfeurs, qui s’étend le long du Pacifique,
de Victoria à Campbell River, et qui est composé de 11 magnifiques terrains de golf. Même si votre normale au golf n’est
pas celle d’un champion, une partie de golf à Victoria vous fera
vivre une expérience dont vous pourrez vous enorgueillir et
qui comptera parmi les moments marquants de vos vacances.
Local flavour
Victoria’s gourmet chefs are blessed with an abundance of
local produce right in their own backyards. Seafood, particularly salmon and shellfish, is a mainstay of West Coast cuisine
and can be caught fresh from Pacific waters. Local farms supply fresh, seasonal ingredients and unusual varieties of food
that chefs embrace. A number of Vancouver Island wineries
complete the gourmet experience by providing locally-made
wine. Along with locally produced wines you can also sample
a variety of local micro-breweries, cideries and distilleries.
If you are looking for jazz in a laid-back lounge, rock in a local
pub, hip-hop in an underground club or classical in a concert
hall or even outdoors, Victoria has something to offer.
Shopping in Victoria is fabulous!
Whether you are just window shopping or on a major shopping spree in Victoria you can browse quaint shops, local
markets and major shopping malls to find your heart’s desire.
Victoria offers everything from antiques to the wares of local artisans and the designs of the hippest trendsetters. The
city’s layout encourages strolling and exploring the many side
streets and alleyways at an easy pace. Be sure to check out;
Saveurs locales
Les grands chefs de Victoria peuvent miser sur l’abondance
des produits du terroir, puisés dans leur propre cour arrière.
Les fruits de mer et les poissons, notamment le saumon, les
mollusques et les crustacés pêchés dans les eaux du Pacifique,
sont la marque de commerce de la cuisine de la Côte Ouest.
Les fermes de la région fournissent des aliments frais et saisonniers et des variétés inhabituelles d’aliments que les chefs
utilisent à souhait. Plusieurs vignobles de l’Île de Vancouver
viennent ajouter à l’expérience culinaire en proposant des vins
locaux. Vous pourrez aussi faire une tournée des microbrasseries, cidreries et distilleries de la région pour savourer leurs
produits.
Peu importe que vous soyez à la recherche d’une soirée de jazz
dans un bar décontracté, de musique rock dans un pub, de
musique hip-hop dans un club underground ou de musique
classique dans une salle de concert ou même à l’extérieur, Victoria saura vous combler.

Personality and Occupation Reconsidered: Personal
projects, free traits and human flourishing
Reconsidérer la personnalité et l’occupation : projets personnels, traits de personnalité non-permanents et épanouissement humain
Do our personalities constrain our capacity for
well-being? Can neurotic individuals aspire to be
happy or introverts flourish? Are our characters
“set like plaster” by the age of thirty? Such
questions are consequential for how we craft our
lives and how we relate to others. They are also
central to the aspirations of occupational science
and therapy. This presentation offers a new and
distinctive answer to such vital questions.
Est-ce que notre personnalité limite notre capacité
d’accéder au bien-être? Est-ce que les personnes
névrosées peuvent aspirer au bonheur? Est-ce que
les personnes introverties peuvent s’épanouir? Nos
traits de caractères sont-ils « figés » dès l’âge de 30
ans? Ce genre de questions émanent de la façon
dont nous façonnons notre vie et établissons nos
rapports avec les autres. Elles sont aussi au cœur
des aspirations de la science de l’occupation et
de l’ergothérapie. Cette conférence apporte une
réponse novatrice et distincte à ce genre de questions essentielles.
Drawing on his three decades of research on
“personal projects” within the field of personality

highest honour for university teaching.
Dr. Little pioneered the development of Personal Projects
Analysis, an approach to personality, motivation and
occupation that has had a major impact on the field of
psychology and a growing influence in occupational science
and therapy. His 2007 co-edited book, Personal Project Pursuit:
Goals, Action and Human Flourishing is a capstone volume for
those interested in how the personal projects perspective can
inform the study of human well-being. He is currently writing
a new book for a general audience called Personality and WellBeing: The Happiness of Pursuit to be published in 2013.

Policy and Research: Driving the field of
occupational therapy forward

pratique, la politique et la recherche pour
faire progresser le domaine de l’ergothérapie
Saturday, June 1st 08:00 VCC Theatre
samedi le 1er juin 08:00 VCC Theatre

Co-animatrices de la table ronde : Brenda Vrkljan et
Isabelle Gélinas
Panelists: Dr. Malcolm Man-Son-Hing, Lisa Kristalovich
Currently, those aged 65 and older account for 3.25 million
drivers or 14 per cent of the total driving population in Canada
(Transport Canada, 2009). This number could more than double
in the next decade. Given the aging of our demographics, there
is a high probability that with age, more people are likely to
develop health problems that could compromise driving safety.
According to research, relative to younger drivers, older drivers
cause more multi-vehicle collisions and, because of frailty, the
severity of their injuries and fatality rates are disproportionately
high. In addition to age, for seniors, medical conditions can
be associated with a decline in functionality at optimal levels,
which can also be attributed to higher crash rates.
Increasingly, occupational therapists, with their knowledge
and skills in task analysis and emphasis on evidence-based
practice, are being called upon to medically evaluate at-risk
drivers. As well, given current clinical expertise, occupational
therapists have an important role to play in addressing driving
cessation so that seniors can find alternatives that enable
them to continue to be mobile and lead active lives. Given the
relationship between out-of-home activity levels and quality of
life, for occupational therapists, it is particularly important to
support personal freedom through mobility as it is an integral
part of our enabling role in today’s health care system.
Drawing attention to older driver safety to contextualize
the discussion, this plenary will focus on how occupational
therapists are leading initiatives and collaborating with other
health care professionals, researchers and policy makers to
ensure the approach taken is based on the best available
evidence.
Join a panel of experts to discuss how occupational therapists’
unique skills set is contributing to strategies that prevent injury
and can support lifelong mobility, thus enhancing quality of
life. The lessons learned in this context can be applied to other
areas of clinical practice as a model of innovative leadership in
practice, policy and research.
Panélistes : Dr. Malcolm Man-Son-Hing, Lisa Kristalovich
Présentement, les personnes âgées de 65 ans et plus représentent
3,25 millions de conducteurs, soit 14 pour cent de la population
totale de conducteurs au Canada (Transport Canada, 2009).
Ce nombre pourrait passer à plus du double au cours de la
prochaine décennie. Compte tenu du vieillissement de notre
population, il y a de fortes probabilités qu’en vieillissant, plus de
gens soient susceptibles d’avoir des problèmes de santé pouvant
compromettre leur sécurité au volant. Selon des études menées
sur les jeunes conducteurs, les conducteurs âgés sont responsable
de plus de collisions impliquant plusieurs véhicules et, en raison
de leur vulnérabilité, la sévérité de leurs blessures et les taux de
mortalité sont beaucoup plus élevés. Mis à part leur âge, les
problèmes médicaux des aînés peuvent être associés à un déclin
de leur capacité fonctionnelle, ce qui peut aussi être attribué à des
pourcentages plus élevés de collisions.
Grâce à leurs connaissances et leurs compétences sur l’analyse
de la tâche et à l’accent qu’ils mettent sur la pratique fondée
sur les faits scientifiques, on fait de plus en plus appel aux
ergothérapeutes pour évaluer médicalement les conducteurs à
risque. De plus, compte tenu de leur expertise clinique actuelle,
les ergothérapeutes ont un rôle important à jouer face à la
question du renoncement à la conduite automobile, en aidant
les aînés à trouver des solutions de rechange pour continuer de
se déplacer dans la communauté et de mener des vies actives.
En raison de la relation entre le degré d’activités à l’extérieur de la
maison et la qualité de vie, il est particulièrement important que
les ergothérapeutes favorisent l’autonomie des individus face à
leurs déplacements, car il s’agit d’une partie essentielle de notre
rôle d’habilitation dans le système de santé actuel.
Tout en mettant l’accent sur la sécurité des conducteurs âgés pour
mettre la discussion en contexte, cette séance plénière sera axée
sur la façon dont les ergothérapeutes dirigent des initiatives et
collaborent avec d’autres professionnels de la santé et décideurs
pour s’assurer que la démarche suivie est basée sur les meilleures
données probantes disponibles.
Joignez-vous à un panel d’experts pour déterminer comment les
compétences uniques des ergothérapeutes peuvent contribuer à
l’élaboration de stratégies permettant de prévenir les blessures, de
favoriser la mobilité tout au long de la vie et, éventuellement, de
rehausser la qualité de vie. Les leçons apprises dans ce contexte
peuvent s’appliquer à d’autres domaines de la pratique clinique, et
servir de modèle pour faire preuve d’un leadership novateur dans
les domaines de la pratique, de la politique et de la recherche.

Plenary Session 8:00-8:50 Victoria Conference Centre
Theatre
Come to listen to this inspiring presentation entitled:
“Innovative Leadership in Practice, Policy and Research:
Driving the field of occupational therapy forward”. How can
occupational therapy play a role in promoting older driver
safety now and in the future? Currently, those aged 65
and older account for 3.25 million drivers or 14 per cent of
the total driving population in Canada. This number could
more than double in the next decade. Given the aging of
our demographics, there is a higher probability that with
age, more people are likely to develop health problems that
could compromise driving safety. With the first wave of
Canada’s baby boomers that turned 65 in 2011, occupational
therapists are positioned to make a significant contribution
to developing innovative solutions that balance the mobility
needs of older drivers with public safety. Join a panel of
experts to discuss how occupational therapists’ unique skills
set is contributing to strategies that prevent injury and can
support lifelong mobility, thus enhancing quality of life.

COTF Lunch with a Scholar- Lili Liu 11:30-13:00 Oak Bay
“Occupational Therapy Scholarship and the Use of ICTs”
Information communication technologies (ICTs) refer to the
use of digital technologies to capture, store and exchange
information via electronic means. ICT is ubiquitous in our
lives, and those of our clients’ and this is changing our
approaches and facilitating the practice of e-Health (or Telehealth, Telemedicine). As ICTs become omnipresent and more
affordable, some aspects of health care are becoming more
client driven, mobile and community-based. This presentation
examines the role of ICTs in e-Health, research approaches
used to examine the adoption of ICTs, and implications
for occupational therapy education, practice and research.
Examples from the speaker’s scholarly activities are used to
demonstrate the scope of research for occupational therapists.
Lili Liu is Professor and Chair of the Department of
Occupational Therapy in the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine
at the University of Alberta. Ticketed event.

Séance plénière 8:00-8:50 Victoria Conference Centre
Theatre
Assistez à une table ronde stimulante sur le thème suivant :
« Faire preuve d’un leadership novateur dans la pratique, la
politique et la recherche pour faire progresser le domaine
de l’ergothérapie ». Quel rôle l’ergothérapie peut-elle jouer
actuellement et dans l’avenir pour promouvoir la sécurité des
conducteurs âgés? Présentement, les personnes âgées de 65
ans et plus représentent 3,25 millions de conducteurs, soit 14
pour cent de la population totale de conducteurs au Canada.
Ce nombre pourrait passer à plus du double au cours de la
prochaine décennie. Compte tenu du vieillissement de notre
population, il y a de fortes probabilités qu’en vieillissant, plus de
gens soient susceptibles d’avoir des problèmes de santé pouvant
compromettre leur sécurité au volant. Comme la première
vague de baby boomers a atteint l’âge de 65 ans en 2011, les
ergothérapeutes sont dans une position idéale pour proposer
des solutions novatrices visant à favoriser l’atteinte d’un équilibre
entre les besoins des conducteurs âgés en matière de mobilité
et la sécurité publique. Joignez-vous à un panel d’experts
pour déterminer comment les compétences uniques des
ergothérapeutes peuvent contribuer à l’élaboration de stratégies
permettant de prévenir les blessures, de favoriser la mobilité tout
au long de la vie et, éventuellement, de rehausser la qualité de vie.

Dîner de FCE en compagnie d’une érudite Lili Liu 11:30-13:00 Oak Bay
« La recherche en ergothérapie et l’utilisation des technologies de
l’information et des communications »
Les technologies de l’information et des communications font
référence à l’usage des technologies numériques pour saisir,
emmagasiner et échanger de l’information à l’aide de moyens
électroniques. Ces technologies sont omniprésentes dans notre
vie et dans celle de nos clients; elles changent nos approches
et facilitent la pratique par l’intermédiaire de télésanté (ou
télémédecine). En raison de l’omniprésence et de la réduction
des coûts de ces technologies, certains aspects des soins de
santé sont mobiles, offerts dans la communauté et orientés
davantage par le client. Pendant cette conférence, Mme Liu
examinera le rôle des technologies de l’information et des
communications dans le domaine de la télésanté, les approches
utilisées en recherche pour étudier l’usage de ces technologies

Professional Issue Forums
Occupational Therapy and Criminal Justice
Thursday, May 30, 8:30-11:30, Saanich
The number of people with mental illness entering the criminal
justice system has been increasing, and the prevalence of
mental illness in prisons is significantly higher than the general
population (Diamond, Wang, Holzer, Thomas & Cruser, 2001;
Elizabeth Fry Society of Mainland Nova Scotia, 2005; Sampson,
Gascon, Glen, Louie & Rosenfeldt, 2007; World Health
Organization, 2008). Criminal justice processes involving
people with mental health problems include the police, courts,
fitness to stand trial, criminal responsibility due to mental
disorder, considerations at sentencing, and corrections –
both custody & community services (StatsCan, 2009). Mental
health care in Canadian jails and prisons is insufficient and
many offenders with mental health concerns are moved into
correctional segregation for protection due to their inability
to cope with regular prison settings (Sampson, et al., 2007).
Individuals being released from correctional institutions,
who report experiencing stigma due to their criminal justice
involvement, find themselves being ‘bumped’ or ‘overlooked’
by community mental health services (Brown, 2004; Hatcher,
2007). With the available research evidence showing the
effectiveness of services for people with mental health
problems, and improved mental health reducing involvement
with the criminal justice system, “the issue is not whether
effective treatment exists but whether it is consistently
available to the people who need it, and whether or not
these individuals continuously avail themselves of treatment”
(Wolff, 2005, p.54). Occupational therapists offer a unique
contribution in supporting individuals through criminal justice
processes. This professional issue forum will address issues
related to the occupational needs of individuals with criminal
justice involvement and the role of occupational therapy in the
criminal justice system.
Navigating Third Party Payers: Solutions that work!
Friday, May 31, 8:30-11:30, Saanich

professionnelle
L’ergothérapie au sein des services correctionnels
jeudi, le 30 mai, 8:30-11:30, Saanich
Le nombre de personnes atteintes d’une maladie mentale
ayant des démêlés avec le système de justice pénale est en
croissance et la prévalence des maladies mentales dans les
prisons est beaucoup plus élevée qu’au sein de la population
générale (Diamond, Wang, Holzer, Thomas et Cruser, 2001;
Elizabeth Fry Society of Mainland Nova Scotia, 2005; Sampson,
Gascon, Glen, Louie et Rosenfeldt, 2007; Organisation
mondiale de la santé, 2008). Les processus de la justice
pénale impliquant des personnes ayant des troubles de santé
mentale sont, notamment, la police, les tribunaux, l’aptitude
à subir un procès, la responsabilité criminelle attribuable à un
trouble mental, les critères de détermination de la peine et
les services correctionnels – services de détention et services
communautaires (StatsCan, 2009). Les soins de santé mentale
sont insuffisants dans les prisons et les centres de détentions
canadiens et de nombreux détenus ayant des problèmes de
santé mentale sont mis en isolement correctionnel pour leur
protection, en raison de leur incapacité de s’adapter aux milieux
carcéraux réguliers (Sampson et al., 2007). Les personnes qui
sont libérées des établissements correctionnels et qui indiquent
qu’elles sont victimes de préjugés en raison de leur implication
avec la justice pénale, sont souvent ‘négligées’ ou ‘rejetées’ par
les services communautaires en santé mentale (Brown, 2004;
Hatcher, 2007). Comme les données probantes disponibles
démontrent l’efficacité des services offerts aux personnes ayant

on how occupational therapists can access existing services
and advocate for extended health benefit coverage. With
approximately twenty percent of occupational therapists
receiving funding from the private sector or individual
clients, it is important to develop strategies that will increase
accessibility to much needed occupational therapy services
across Canada. Panelists will uncover the current barriers
and opportunities, while roundtable discussions will allow
participants to further develop solutions which will be
utilized to inform practice. Participants will be able to gain
an understanding of how occupational therapy is positioned
within extended health insurance benefits and other third
party payers, explore existing challenges to accessing
funding and identify enabling strategies for the inclusion of
occupational therapy services with insurance providers across
Canada.
CAOT Sponsored Sessions
Fostering Professional Growth through Mentorship
Thursday, May 30, 14:00, Esquimalt
CAOT launched an online mentorship module (Momentum)
which aims to assist occupational therapists foster their
professional growth and development through a guided
reflective process. The facilitated online module allows
participants to prepare for a mentoring relationship in
which each mentee is matched with a mentor to address
their reflective goals. This valuable process allows both the
mentees and mentors to explore avenues that enrich their
practice through different insights of the profession. This
session will provide an overview of the benefits and successes
of mentoring relationships as well as identify the wide range
of researchers and practitioners that would benefit from this
unique opportunity. The session will include a background on
Momentum with highlights of the model on which it was built
and its track record of successes.
OT Month – What, Who and How?
This aim of this interactive session is to engage the broader
occupational therapy community in OT Month planning.
Following a brief overview of past activities, participants will
work in small groups to deliberate on the way forward, be
engaged in the articulation of proposed goals, objectives,
envisaged outcomes and a plan on how to successfully
reach specific target population cohorts through a variety of
communication channels.

des problèmes de santé mentale et que l’amélioration de la
santé mentale entraîne une réduction des interactions avec le
système de justice pénale, « la question n’est pas de savoir s’il
existe un traitement efficace, mais de déterminer si ce traitement
est disponible en tout temps pour les personnes qui en ont
besoin et, également, de savoir si ces personne ont recours à
ce traitement » (Wolff, 2005, p.54). Les ergothérapeutes offrent
une intervention unique en soutenant les individus tout au
long du processus pénal. Ce forum sur un enjeu professionnel
abordera les questions associées aux besoins occupationnels des
personnes ayant des démêlés avec le système de justice pénale
et le rôle de l’ergothérapie au sein du système de justice pénale.
Influencer les tiers payeurs : des solutions qui fonctionnent!
vendredi, le 31 mai, 8:30-11:30, Saanich
Le but de ce forum sur un enjeu professionnel est d’explorer
les défis associés au financement de tierce partie des
services d’ergothérapie, de comprendre la protection qui est
actuellement offerte en matière de services d’ergothérapie et
de déterminer comment les ergothérapeutes peuvent être
intégrés dans les services de santé actuels et revendiquer que
leurs services soient couverts par les régimes d’assurance-santé
complémentaire. Comme près de 20 % des ergothérapeutes
reçoivent du financement du secteur privé ou de clients
individuels, il est important de proposer des stratégies pour
augmenter l’accessibilité des services d’ergothérapie qui sont en
grande demande à travers le Canada. Les panélistes décriront les
barrières et les possibilités actuelles, alors que les discussions en
table ronde permettront aux participants d’élaborer des solutions
qui seront utilisées pour éclairer la pratique. Les participants
pourront mieux comprendre la position de l’ergothérapie face
aux régimes d’assurance santé complémentaire et aux tiers
payeurs, explorer les difficultés actuelles face à l’obtention
d’un financement et déterminer des stratégies favorables
à l’intégration des services d’ergothérapie dans les régimes

ACOTUP Sponsored Session - Fostering the Research –
Practice Nexus
Introduction: The evolution of evidence based practice,
coupled with the requirement for Masters level education to
gain entry into the field of occupational therapy is catalyzing
the integration of research activities in academic and practice
arenas. The session explores how these synergies can be
accelerated, exploited and optimized for the benefit of the
profession and the user. In the past, occupational therapy
practice remained separated from academic and research
institutions, decreasing the potential for practitioners to
become actively engaged in research and other knowledge
production activities. How can we now collectively increase
opportunities and reduce barriers to knowledge production
and utilization within our profession? Objectives: This one
hour session will result in the identification of strategies to
successfully integrate research into clinical practice to foster
clinically relevant and important knowledge creation activities
within occupational therapy. Approach: The session will begin
with presentations by panelists of successful integration
efforts. Participants will be engaged in discussions leading to
a plan for action that can guide the efforts of the profession.
Practice Implications: The intention of this session with
respect to the integration of research in practice settings is to
1) identify successful strategies for knowledge creation and

Séance parrainée par l’ACPUE - Fostering the Research –
Practice Nexus
Favoriser les liens entre la recherche et la pratique
Introduction : L’évolution de la pratique fondée sur les faits,
de même que la formation du niveau de la maîtrise qui est
maintenant préalable à l’entrée en exercice de l’ergothérapie
agissent comme des catalyseurs pour intégrer des activités de
recherche dans les milieux de l’enseignement et de la pratique.
Cette séance examine comment ces synergies peuvent être
accélérées et optimisées au profit de la profession et de l’usager.
Dans le passé, la pratique de l’ergothérapie et les milieux de
l’enseignement et de la recherche étaient séparés; ainsi, les
praticiens avaient peu de possibilités de participer à la recherche
et à d’autres activités de production des connaissances.
Comment pouvons-nous augmenter collectivement les
possibilités et réduire les barrières à la production et à l’utilisation
de nouvelles connaissances au sein de notre profession?
Objectifs : Pendant cette séance d’une heure, les participants
détermineront des stratégies favorables à l’intégration de la
recherche dans la pratique clinique afin de favoriser les activités
de production de connaissances importantes et pertinentes
pour le milieu clinique en ergothérapie. Style de présentation :
Au début de la séance, les panélistes présenteront différentes
initiatives d’intégration réussies. Les participants s’engageront
ensuite dans des discussions en vue de concevoir un plan
d’action pouvant orienter les initiatives de la profession.
Conséquences pour la pratique : Le but de cette séance en
matière d’intégration de la recherche dans les milieux de
pratique est 1) de cibler des stratégies favorables à la création
de connaissances et 2) de fournir de l’information aux membre
de la profession afin d’orienter l’élaboration de plans d’action.
Conclusion : Nous sommes dans une période propice à
l’intégration de la recherche et de la pratique clinique. Cette
séance donnera aux ergothérapeutes l’occasion de dialoguer et
d’échanger des idées sur cette question.

Professional Issue Forum: Occupational
therapy and criminal justice
Crystal Dieleman, Elizabeth Steggles
(Canadian Association of Occupational
Therapists ) [email protected]
The number of people with mental illness
entering the criminal justice system has
been increasing, and the prevalence of
mental illness in prisons is significantly
higher than the general population
(Diamond, Wang, Holzer, Thomas &
Cruser, 2001; Elizabeth Fry Society of
Mainland Nova Scotia, 2005; Sampson,
Gascon, Glen, Louie & Rosenfeldt, 2007;
World Health Organization, 2008).
Criminal justice processes involving
people with mental health problems
include the police, courts, fitness to stand
trial, criminal responsibility due to mental
disorder, considerations at sentencing,
and corrections – both custody &
community services (StatsCan, 2009).
Mental health care in Canadian jails and
prisons is insufficient and many offenders
with mental health concerns are moved
into correctional segregation for
protection due to their inability to cope
with regular prison settings (Sampson,
et al., 2007). Individuals being released
from correctional institutions, who report
experiencing stigma due to their criminal
justice involvement, find themselves
being ‘bumped’ or ‘overlooked’ by
community mental health services
(Brown, 2004; Hatcher, 2007). With the
available research evidence showing the
effectiveness of services for people with
mental health problems, and improved
mental health reducing involvement with
the criminal justice system, “the issue is
not whether effective treatment exists
but whether it is consistently available
to the people who need it, and whether
or not these individuals continuously
avail themselves of treatment” (Wolff,
2005, p.54). Occupational therapists offer
a unique contribution in supporting
individuals through criminal justice
processes. This professional issue
forum will address issues related to the
occupational needs of individuals with
criminal justice involvement and the role
of occupational therapy in the criminal
justice system.

Fostering the research – Practice nexus
Introduction: The evolution of

with the requirement for Masters
level education to gain entry into
the field of occupational therapy is
catalyzing the integration of research
activities in academic and practice
arenas. The session explores how
these synergies can be accelerated,
exploited and optimized for the benefit
of the profession and the user. In the
past, occupational therapy practice
remained separated from academic
and research institutions, decreasing
the potential for practitioners to
become actively engaged in research
and other knowledge production
activities. How can we now collectively
increase opportunities and reduce
barriers to knowledge production
and utilization within our profession?
Objectives: This one hour session
will result in the identification of
strategies to successfully integrate
research into clinical practice to foster
clinically relevant and important
knowledge creation activities within

Plenary: Innovative leadership into practice,

Driving the field of occupational
therapy forward
Brenda Vrkljan & Isabelle Gélinas (McMaster
University/McGill University)
Come to listen to this inspiring
presentation entitled: “Innovative
leadership in practice, policy and
research: Driving the field of occupational
therapy forward”. How can occupational
therapy play a role in promoting older
driver safety now and in the future?
Currently, those aged 65 and older
account for 3.25 million drivers or 14
per cent of the total driving population
in Canada. This number could more
than double in the next decade. Given
the aging of our demographics, there
is a higher probability that with age,
more people are likely to develop
health problems that could compromise
driving safety. With the first wave of
Canada’s baby boomers who turned
65 in 2011, occupational therapists
are positioned to make a significant
contribution to developing innovative
solutions that balance the mobility
needs of older drivers with public safety.
Join a panel of experts to discuss how
occupational therapists’ unique skills set
is contributing to strategies that prevent
injury and can support lifelong mobility,
thus enhancing quality of life.

Many individuals live in inaccessible
homes. This study assesses the potential
benefits and limitations of a new home
access concept through focus groups
with end-users. Advancements in home
access related assistive technologies
can provide clinicians and clients with
greater mobility options enabling more
efficient and fuller participation in daily
occupations.
Clients may be unaware of the range of
occupations they can address in therapy
may limit COPM goal identification. We
used Personal Project Analysis to help
acquired brain injury day hospital clients
reflect on important past, current and
hoped for future occupations, and noted
the impact on COPM goals identified.

Invitation and opportunity to be involved in the
Increasing Access to Rehabilitation project
CAOT is supporting the Canadian Working Group on HIV and Rehabilitation (CWGHR) project to address
challenges and promote opportunities to improve access to rehabilitation services especially for people
living with chronic illnesses.
As a key component of this project, CWGHR and CAOT will be co-hosting two teleconference consultations
with occupational therapists across Canada (one in English and one in French).
Specific objectives of the consultations include:
• Obtain input from participants regarding access to rehabilitation services and its impact on clients’
health and functioning;
• Identify policy and/or program barriers and facilitators that impede or increase access to
rehabilitation services and collect examples of best practices;
• Increase opportunities for occupational therapists to be involved in this project as it moves forward.
Your input will be highly valued! The teleconference consultations will be held:
English - June 25 12-1 pm Eastern time
French - June 26 12-1 pm Eastern time
For more information on the project and to register for these consultations,
please contact Julie Lapointe at [email protected]
Invitation et occasion de participer au projet
Améliorer l’accès à la réadaptation
L’ACE appuie le projet du Groupe de travail canadien sur le VIH et la réinsertion sociale (GTCVRS) visant à
relever les défis entourant l’accès aux services de réadaptation et à promouvoir les occasions de l’améliorer
pour les personnes ayant des maladies chroniques.
Dans le cadre de ce projet, le GTCVRS et l’ACE co-organiseront deux consultations par téléconférence auprès
d’ergothérapeutes de tout le Canada (une en anglais et une en français).
Parmi les objectifs spécifiques de ces consultations, notons :
• recueillir les commentaires des participants sur l’accès aux services de réadaptation et son impact
sur la santé et le fonctionnement des clients;
• identifier les obstacles et les facteurs de facilitation des politiques et/ou programmes qui entravent ou
contribuent à l’accès aux services de réadaptation et recueillir des exemples de meilleures pratiques;
• augmenter les occasions pour les ergothérapeutes de participer à ce projet à mesure qu’il avance.
Votre point de vue est essentiel! Les consultations par téléconférence auront lieu :
en anglais - le 25 juin, de 12 h à 13 h, heure de l’Est
en français - le 26 juin, de 12 h à 13 h, heure de l’Est
Pour plus d’information sur le projet et pour vous inscrire à ces consultations, communiquez avec
