COTF welcomes new Publication
Review Committee
COTF welcomes Anne Strock from the Health Sciences Centre in
Winnipeg as the Chair of the Publication Grants Review Committee. Anne
is Education Systems and Research Coordinator in the Occupational Therapy
Department at the Centre and has had extensive involvement in the occupational
therapy programs at the Universities of Manitoba and Western Ontario.
Joining Anne as committee members are Natalie MacLeod Schroeder, Clinical Specialist in Child Health at the Winnipeg Health Sciences Centre and Theresa Sullivan, Academic Fieldwork Coordinator in the Division of Occupational Therapy at the University of Manitoba.
The Foundation sincerely thanks outgoing Chair, Catherine Backman and
committee members Mary Clark Green and Lyle Brydon for their lengthy and
effective service to COTF.
Conference Grant Writing Forum
Thursday, May 24 10:30 am - 11:30 am
Attend COTF's Grant Writing Forum at the CAOT Back to the Future Conference

Committee) and Anne Carswell (Out-going Chair, COTF Research and Scholarship

draw upon the COTF experience to give concrete examples. This is a "don't
miss" event for novice scholars and researchers!
CAOT professional insurance
program benefits COTF
Did you know that when you purchase professional insurance through CAOT
you are actually supporting COTF fundraising? Insurance provider Willis
Canada makes an annual donation to COTF of a percentage of its sales to
occupational therapists. In December 2000, COTF received a cheque for
$12,052 from Willis Canada in appreciation of your business.
CAOT - our sustaining partner
New members of CAOT may not be aware that the Association was instrumental
in launching the Foundation in 1983 and has provided an annual operating
grant in recognition of the importance of research and scholarship to
the advancement of the profession. In 2000 that grant totalled $100,000.
COTF sincerely thanks the CAOT for its commitment to the Foundation as
evidenced through the sustaining funding it provides.
COTF Fundraising Campaign Continues
In November, COTF launched a campaign to raise funds for research, scholarship
and publication opportunities for occupational therapists.
You too can help build the future of occupational therapy by donating generously to COTF's campaign.
To make a donation, mail your cheque to COTF at 207 - 150 Eglinton Avenue
East, Toronto ON, M4P 1E8. COTF can also accept donations made by Visa
