Welcome to the North!  My name is Lisa McShane and I represent the physiotherapists in Northwest Territories and Nunavut.  I have the pleasure of meeting with branch presidents from all over Canada and learning about new developments that are occurring across the country.  This is an exciting time to be a Physiotherapist as governments move toward primary health care and look to all health care providers, including physiotherapists, for suggestions on how to improve health care access. This website is intended to help you stay in touch with what is new in our profession.  Occasionally I will update this message to include any new CPA information.

If you have questions about or ideas for our Association, you can e-mail me by clicking on: NWT and NU Branch .
