Call for Press Releases.....Time to toot our horn!!!!

Getting Involved:
The Ontario Athletic Therapist Association and National Athletic Therapy Month
What is National Athletic Therapy Month?
In 2006, the Canadian Athletic Therapist Association (CATA) launched an annual national initiative called “National Athletic Therapy Month (NATM).” Awareness Month is designated as the month of June each year to coincide with the summer sports and activities, as well as with the CATA Annual Conference. This month presents an opportunity for Athletic Therapists to promote the Athletic Therapy movement.
The theme of NATM is “Out There.” Athletic Therapists and organizations will host events and other activities throughout the country to build awareness that Athletic Therapy is really out there everywhere that you look and that progress is being made towards educating normal, everyday active individuals that Athletic Therapy would be beneficial to their overall health.
Why is the Ontario Athletic Therapist Association participating in Awareness Day?
The Ontario Athletic Therapist Association is the largest body of certified members of the CATA. We feel that it is our duty to help market the profession of athletic therapy to the public and to our members. We want every person to recognize the credentials of an Athletic Therapist!
How can OATA members get involved?
This year, OATA members are being given a challenge! The OATA will be sending out over 300 press releases about Athletic Therapy across Canada to different avenues of media – newspapers, magazines, TV and the like. These press releases will feature Athletic Therapists from Ontario. We want you to find these releases, and send them to secretary@athletictherapist.on.ca by email, fax (905)584-6787, or by mail by July 15th to be entered in a random draw for a $500 gift certificate to Medelco! There is a second way to enter this random draw…If you are able to send us a copy of media release about you, you will get 3 entries into our draw!
Where can I get more information about National Athletic Therapy Month?
Information and materials on NATM are available online at www.athletictherapy.org. Check out how OATA was last year’s winner for the GREATEST IMPACT AWARD from the CATA. You can also visit www.athletictherapist.on.ca for more great ideas.
WATCH FOR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA RELEASE SOON!!!!!!

Dear Drew:



I am writing on behalf of Oxfam Canada and was given your contact information from Amanda Halls, Clinic Director with Sheridan Athletic Therapy Centre. We are organizing Oxfam Trailwalker Canada (www.oxfamtrailwalker.ca) and I was hoping you could send out an e-blast to the Ontario Athletic Therapists Association to help us recruit volunteer Athletic Therapists for our event.



Oxfam Trailwalker is the world’s greatest team challenge where teams of four hike 100km in 48 hours. This event happens worldwide (Japan, Hong Kong, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Holland, Ireland) and we are launching the North American debut. The event takes place from Friday July 24 to Sunday July 26, 2009, along the Ganaraska Hiking Trail (between Barrie and Wasaga).



We have put together an outstanding team that will be overseeing various disciplines throughout the weekend. Many of our checkpoints along the route will have a sports clinic for participants and we will have Athletic Therapists, Sport Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, Massage Therapists and first aid. Our Clinic Director is Dr. Scott D. Howitt, Director Sports Performance Centres Ltd. He also teaches at the chiropractic college. Dr. Howitt will be overseeing all clinic volunteers and will report to our Medical Director Mel Giblett. I’ve also cc’d Dan DiRuscio who is our logistics coordinator on this event.



If you are able to send something out on our behalf and direct any interested Athletic Therapists directly to Dr. Howitt that would be greatly appreciated. His contact email is sdh@sportsperformancecentres.com. If they could also cc Dan DiRuscio (dan@halainc.com) , that would be terrific.



If you or any of the Athletic Therapists have any questions or would like to discuss this event please do not hesitate to call Dan Di Ruscio at (416) 413-1454 ext. 2221 or e-mail dan@halainc.com.

Hey guys,

I am currently seeking an AT student to take over my current field placement with the Oakville Buzz Junior B lacrosse team.

The team plays its home games out of Glen Abbey Arena on Third Line & Upper Middle Road here in Oakville. Transportation is provided for all road games either through traveling on a team bus or with the coaching staff.

Pay is $50 per game (2 sometimes 3 games a week) and $25 for practice (Tuesday's at 8pm at Glen Abbey Arena). I have opened an account for supplies with Dunbar Medical in Mississauga and the team covers all/any supply expenses you may have (tape, splints, etc.). I would need someone to start this position on June 9th. At that point there are 5 regular season games remaining and it looks as if the team is poised for a good playoff run this year. Insurance is covered through the Ontario Lacrosse Association.

The players, coaches, parents and management are all great to work with and really appreciate having the Athletic Therapy student available to help with the prevention and rehabilitation of injuries. As well it provides you with a great opportunity to stay on top of your field skills over your internship and will most likely result in an opportunity for placement and some money next summer as part of your summer internships. I really hope that someone can help me out with this as it would be greatly appreciated.

If you are interested in this position please feel free to contact me via email at: briancheeseman@hotmail.com
or via phone at (647) 268-8216 or (905) 842-0318.

I hope to hear from you soon!
