Pillar 01 / 04

Occupational Therapy at The Held Space is not about doing more — it is about being more present in what you do.

As OTs, we recognize that health and healing are deeply connected to the land. We live and work on Treaty 1 Territory, the traditional lands of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene, and the homeland of the Red River Métis. We acknowledge our presence on this land and our responsibility to its history, its waters, and its original stewards.
