“From childhood to elderhood, occupational therapists are there to support those in need of recovery therapy, to get them back to doing what matters most. Thank you to all our OTs for their dedication to the people of Eeyou Istchee!” - Adelina Feo, Director of Professional Services and Quality Assurance (DPSQA) - Allied Health

OTs help people to improve their ability to function in their daily life through the use of everyday activities in a culturally safe manner. OTs can enable people to:

  • Take care of themselves and their loved ones  
  • Go to the bush, hunt, do arts and crafts, etc.  
  • Participate in daycare/school activities, manage work duties, or contribute to their community in different ways  
  • Play sports, pursue hobbies or spend time with friends and family.
