Announcement of date change

Dear Colleagues,
Recently the World Federation of Occupational Therapy Conference, to be held in Paris, France, was rescheduled from March, 2022 to late August 2022, thus causing a conflict with the dates of the inaugural World Occupational Science Conference to be held in Vancouver, B.C., Canada, and co-hosted by the University of British Columbia and the International Society for Occupational Science.
The inaugural World Occupational Science Conference (WOSC) has been rescheduled to 18-20 August 2022 in order to best serve the international occupational science and occupational therapy communities, ensure that potential attendees do not have to choose between conferences, and facilitate scheduling and travel. These new dates now appear on the conference website (https://wosc.osot.ubc.ca/).
We appreciate the many expressions of support and concern we received over the past few weeks and look forward to continuing our preparations for the inaugural World Occupational Science Conference.
Thank you,
WOSC 2022 Leadership Team
Dr. Susan Forwell, Chair
Dr. Suzanne Huot, Vice Chair
