OSOT Volunteers
Our volunteers’ efforts inspire, motivate and support the Society to undertake and make progress on our strategic plan that aims to position OSOT to lead by providing vision, voice, visibility and value for Ontario occupational therapists.
We are delighted and proud to have so many OSOT members engaged in the work of the Society. They serve and support members, promote occupational therapy, and position and advocate to engage occupational therapists to play meaningful roles influencing the ongoing development of our health care system in order to assure that Ontarians have access to the health care services that they need. Beyond all this, volunteer efforts have ripple effects, strengthening our membership community and igniting a vibrancy that is so important to our profession.
A huge thank you goes out to all of our volunteers!
