Since 1957, the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies (CFHS) has worked to unite and strengthen humane societies & SPCAs while advocating for the humane treatment of animals in our homes, on the farm, in the lab, and in the wild. The CFHS's member societies help animals in communities across Canada. The CFHS represents these members on issues of national importance, and provides them with information and advice to help them better serve animals in their communities. Over the decades, the CFHS has been at the forefront of efforts to reform Canada’s shamefully lax animal cruelty law, to create rules protecting farm animals from undue suffering, and to improve the treatment of animals used in research. The CFHS receives no government funding. It depends on the support of caring Canadians to continue promoting responsible pet ownership, fighting for effective laws to protect animals, and strengthening humane societies and SPCAs nationwide.

The Canadian Occupational Therapy Foundation became a reality on May 17, 1983. The first Board of Governors consisted of three prominent Occupational Therapists: Karen Goldenberg, President; Dr. Thelma Cardwell, Vice President and Dr. Isobel Robinson, Secretary / Treasurer. The purpose of COTF has always been to support research and scholarship in the field of occupational therapy. The Foundation’s focus has been on generating, receiving and maintaining funds and developing mechanisms for granting awards to individuals and organizations for research and scholarships. From 1983 to 1995, COTF and CAOT shared office space in Toronto. When CAOT relocated to Ottawa in 1995, COTF remained in Toronto. A decision was made in 2002 for the Foundation to once again share office space with CAOT in order to foster a synergistic relationship which would benefit the entire occupational therapy community. Since 2004, COTF and CAOT share office space in Ottawa.
