Volunteers Urgently Needed to Help Children with Disabilities Learn to Ride a Two-Wheel Bike This Summer
by PT admin 04 Jun '26

04 Jun '26

Sent on behalf of Catherine Bilyeu, PT Dept. Head Below is a volunteer opportunity in June and July for those not in clinical placements. Please share this opportunity with others who may be interested. [cid:51a184a4-3b72-4233-a247-9945f0fa7038] We are reaching out to share a meaningful volunteer opportunity that may be of interest: Variety's Bike Camp in Winnipeg. Bike Camp helps children living with a disability learn to independently ride a two-wheel bike using adapted equipment, trained professionals, and volunteer support. About 80% of riders learn to ride independently, while the remaining riders make tremendous progress toward that goal. Training is provided, and volunteers help encourage and support riders during their sessions. What to Expect as a Volunteer: * Walk, jog, or run alongside a rider during a 75-minute session (with short breaks). * Support and encourage riders while providing physical assistance when needed. Volunteer dates: Week 1: June 29-July 3 Week 2: July 6-July 10 Location: East End Arena Transcona - 517 Pandora Ave E You can register for one shift, one day, one week or both weeks. We would be grateful if you could share this opportunity with your network, friends, family, coworkers, and anyone looking to make a direct impact in a child's life this summer. Register to volunteer: Week 1: Register for Week 1 (June 28 - July 3)<https://app.etapestry.com/onlineforms/VarietytheChildren/volunteerbc.html> Week 2: Register for Week 2 (July 6 - July 10)<https://app.etapestry.com/onlineforms/VarietytheChildren/volunteerbc2.html> What to Expect as a Volunteer: * Walk, jog, or run alongside a rider during a 75-minute session (with short breaks). * Support and encourage riders while providing physical assistance when needed. * Cover approximately 2 miles per session. If you are volunteering for multiple sessions, please be prepared for a physically active role. * Volunteers must be at least 16 years old (please contact us regarding limited exceptions). * We strongly encourage volunteers to commit to all 5 days of the same session whenever possible. Riders build trust and confidence with the volunteers supporting them, and consistency makes a huge difference in their success. However, we understand that a full-week commitment is not always possible, and even volunteering for a single session can still make a meaningful impact. Bike Camp serves 40 riders each week, meaning we need a large team of volunteers to make this life-changing program possible. Additional Information: * Volunteer hour documentation is available. * Snacks and lunch will be provided for volunteers staying all day. * Water refill stations will be available throughout the arena.

by PT admin 11 May '26

11 May '26

Sent on behalf of Catherine Bilyeu, PT Dept Head Hello Everyone - Please see the opportunity to share your voice as an MPT student around curriculum and professional practice, at the national level. The committee is specifically seeking representation from a University of Manitoba student. Please reach out to me directly if you are interested in this opportunity and provide a few BRIEF sentences regarding why you would like to do this. I will then forward names to Jasdeep for consideration. This is an important opportunity to shape the future of MPT education and represent our program in a meaningful way. I hope someone will step into this opportunity to share the Manitoba lens. Thank you, Catherine Catherine Bilyeu PT, DPT, PhD Associate Professor | Department Head, Physical Therapy College of Rehabilitation Sciences | Rady Faculty of Health Sciences University of Manitoba P304-770 Bannatyne Avenue Winnipeg, Manitoba R3E 0W2 (431) 275-0442 [cid:d46d9234-112d-4ace-97d1-b04c0db3df4d] Pronouns: she/her I live, work, and play on the traditional lands of Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Anisininewuk, Dakota Oyate, and Dene and on the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.

I commit to learning, respecting, and supporting Indigenous communities as we work toward justice and reconciliation. ________________________________ From: Jasdeep Dhir <dhirj(a)mcmaster.ca<mailto:dhirj@mcmaster.ca>> Sent: Friday, May 08, 2026 4:49 PM To: Margaret Duffy <ed(a)ccpup.ca<mailto:ed@ccpup.ca>> Subject: Student Member Recruitment Curriculum Committee Hello Margaret, I hope you are well. I wanted to connect with you as in our last curriculum committee meeting, we identified the need to recruit at min one student representative. Based on review of the geographical representation on our committee, we wanted to connect with Program Leads in MB and Quebec to check with their student bodies first (these are gaps in our committee). I have worked with our recent student rep to generate language for the role. Can you either share the MB and Quebec Program Leads contacts or share the request for recruitment on my behalf. Any expressions of interest can come to me. Thanks Margaret. The Curriculum Committee of the Canadian Council of Physiotherapy University Programs is seeking 1-2 physiotherapy student representatives to contribute to national discussions that help shape the future of Canadian physiotherapy education. This role provides an opportunity to bring forward the student perspective in curriculum and professional practice conversations that impact entry-to-practice physiotherapy education across Canada, while collaborating with faculty, clinicians, recent graduates, and students from diverse programs and regions. Committee responsibilities include supporting the review and revision of the National Curriculum Guidelines, contributing to discussions related to academic and clinical education, and working with national professional partners to ensure alignment with evolving professional practice environments. The Committee meets a minimum of two times annually (virtual), with additional meetings as needed; members are encouraged to attend regularly, while recognizing that conflicts related to coursework, clinical placements, and examinations may arise. Student members serve a two-year term, are able to transition into serving as recent graduate members to support continuity and sustained student representation on the Committee.

Ce rôle offre l'occasion de faire valoir le point de vue des étudiants dans les discussions sur les programmes d'études et la pratique professionnelle qui ont une incidence sur la formation initiale en physiothérapie à travers le Canada, tout en collaborant avec des enseignants, des cliniciens, des jeunes diplômés et des étudiants issus de divers programmes et régions. Les responsabilités du comité comprennent le soutien à l’examen et à la révision des lignes directrices nationales en matière de programmes d’études, la contribution aux discussions liées à la formation théorique et clinique, et la collaboration avec des partenaires professionnels nationaux afin d’assurer l’alignement avec les environnements de pratique professionnelle en constante évolution. Le comité se réunit au moins deux fois par an (en ligne), avec des réunions supplémentaires si nécessaire ; les membres sont encouragés à y assister régulièrement, tout en reconnaissant que des conflits liés aux cours, aux stages cliniques et aux examens peuvent survenir. Les membres étudiants ont un mandat de deux ans et peuvent ensuite devenir membres « jeunes diplômés » afin d’assurer la continuité et une représentation durable des étudiants au sein du comité.

PT6124 anatomy exam focus
by PT admin 23 Mar '26

23 Mar '26

Sent on behalf of Mark Garrett, Dear MPT1, We reviewed the PT6124 amputee notes in our last session together to guide your preparation for the amputee section of the exam, but I would like to revisit the following items to ensure you do not have any confusion with them. * At the bottom of p. 11, the important information is under "Determinants of readiness for casting" as these 3 criteria indicate that the patient is ready to receive their prosthesis and begin walking. Note that the 3rd criteria states that patients should be tolerating 60 mmHg of compression, but you should change this to 40 mmHg as that is the amount of compression they experience with their shrinker sock. You do not need to know "Determination of Prosthetic Candidacy" or "Mobility Categories" on p. 11. * You need to know "Advanced Mobility Activities" on P. 16. * You need to be able to provide a possible prosthetic cause and an amputee cause for the "Prosthetic Gait Deviations", as we discussed in class (pp. 21-22). * For the upper limb amputee, you only need to know the 2 sets of movements associated with using a body-powered above-elbow prosthesis similar to the one worn by our model patient. We identified these on our patient and then clearly defined them in the subsequent class discussion. If you have any other questions or concerns re the exam, please do not hesitate to contact me by email and I will respond very quickly. All the best! Mark Mark Garrett, PhD, PT Department of Physical Therapy College of Rehabilitation Sciences Rady Faculty of Health Sciences University of Manitoba P304-770 Bannatyne Avenue Winnipeg, Manitoba R3E 0W2 mark.garrett(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:mark.garrett@umanitoba.ca> [cid:image001.png@01DCBACA.3978F220] *There is no need to reply outside your working hours*
