No person, group, community, or population has gone unscathed by one or more of these events, sometimes experienced simultaneously. Individuals and communities have been compelled to respond, adapt, and innovate the ways in which they engage in occupations in daily life. The occupational therapy community must consider and reflect on the impact of these adversities on occupational participation and occupational therapy practice, education, and research. In Canada, the profession is at a turning pointing with the recent release of the Promoting Occupation Participation: Collaborative relationship-focused occupational (PPO) and its new Canadian Model of Occupational Participation (CanMOP) (Egan & Restall, 2022). This new model and text deliberately shift our focus to occupational participation, emphasizing the importance of context and how it affects everyday doing. There is an explicit consideration of historical influences on current experiences of doing occupation and provision of occupational therapy services. Continually learning ways to promote occupational participation in times of adversity will influence how we practice currently and in the future. Thus, this special theme issue of the Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy on occupational participation in times of adversity offers original articles to provide a historical record of the impact of certain events and sharing of lived experiences during trying times. Most of the papers in this issue describe lived experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Tao et al. (2023), Lozano et al. (2023), and Vrkljan et al. (2023) each explored impacts of the pandemic around a meaningful activity. In “Quality of Physical Activity Participation Among Individuals with Disability through Pandemic Restrictions,” Tao et al. explored the effect of COVID-19 on meaningful physical activity participation experiences by adults with disabilities, highlighting how study participants valued social support, copedwith barriers, and adjusted to situational restrictions to continue participation in physical activity, but were unable to detect explanatory factors influencing the quality of physical activity. In Lozano et al.’s “Losing Life’s Sparkle: Experiences of Canadian High-Level Choristers During the COVID-19 Pandemic,”high-level choralmusicians described significant disruptions to how they experienced participation in music-making. New ways of participating, though safer, were less satisfying and joyful as choir singers felt disconnected from each other and their audiences. This study provides unique insight on how the unsought suspension of meaningful occupation can have a negative impact on well-being.
