Newfoundland & Labrador Association of Occupational Therapists - NLAOT

08/18/2026

Thank you to CAOT CEO Irving Gold for taking the time to meet with members of the NLAOT Executive during his recent visit to Newfoundland and Labrador.

We are grateful for the opportunity to share stories about occupational therapy services across our province, as well as the advocacy work that so many of our members have helped lead and shape. These conversations highlighted the passion, innovation, and dedication of occupational therapists in Newfoundland and Labrador.

We also appreciated the collaborative discussion about how CAOT can continue to support provincial initiatives and strengthen opportunities for our members moving forward. We look forward to continuing to work together to advance the profession and support occupational therapists across the country.
