Ontario Tech acknowledges the lands and people of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation.

We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

Cochrane Rehabilitation REH-COVER (Rehabilitation – COVID-19 Evidence-based Response) action

The aim of REH-COVER is to focus on the timely collection, review, and dissemination of summarized and synthesized evidence relating to COVID-19 and rehabilitation. This will create an evidence-based answer repository to the newly-risen clinical questions and problems. The action was developed by an international multi-professional Steering Committee, whose role will continue to advise on all initiatives included in this action.  Dr. Pierre Côté is a member of the International Multiprofessional Steering Committee for Cochrane Rehabilitation REH-COVER.

The RCTs in Rehabilitation Checklist (RCTRaCk) Project

The aim of the RCTRaCk project is to produce a checklist of items to be followed in the reporting of RCTs in rehabilitation as an add-on to the CONSORT Non-Pharmacological Treatment Studies reporting checklist. 

Dr. Côté joined the RCTRaCk outcomes working group and IDRR Post Doctoral Fellow Dr. Dan Wang was the lead author in the resulting IDRR publication (below).
