Serving the profession since 1926 , the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists (CAOT) is the professional organization that gives voice to the nearly 20,000 occupational therapists who work or study in Canada. With our national office located in Ottawa and regional chapters in British Columbia, Quebec, Saskatchewan and the North, CAOT engages in advocacy initiatives that position our professional community to better serve Canadians.
