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 MAYOR

78 Congrès de l’ACE 2013 - L’avenir ici et maintenant : des solutions novatrices CAOT Conference 2013- The Future is here: Leading solutions 79 Notes

80 Congrès de l’ACE 2013 - L’avenir ici et maintenant : des solutions novatrices 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 Julie Lapointe à l’adresse [email protected] Call for Papers • Appel de présentations
