Rebecca currently works as a Nurse Clinician on the Skin Wound Ostomy team at Hamilton Health Sciences, mainly with children and families at McMaster Children's Hospital. Her role encompasses direct patient care, staff education, and committee work to improve patient care within the organization. A recent focus has been hospital-acquired pressure injuries and developing resources to improve assessment of darker skin tones. Rebecca has volunteered with preteens, the Indigenous Diabetes Health Circle, and Caribbean migrant farm workers in Niagara. She keeps busy with her three children, can often be found with a book in her hand, and enjoys “old lady hobbies” such as sewing, gardening, and canning.

Director of Operations < Back Troy Curtis (he/him) BHum(Hons) Director of Operations Troy joined NSWOCC in July 2019 as the Manager of Membership and Communications where he provided exceptional membership support and value though supporting member benefits. He also developed and provided communications to make sure that the Membership was informed. In 2020, when NSWOCC had to pivot to a virtual national conference on short notice, Troy was instrumental in building virtual conference platform to ensure that members could access continuing education. He has also provided outstanding support for the NSWOCC webinar series, the Wound, Ostomy and Continence Institute and the International Skin Tear Advisory Panel. A 2019 Bachelor of Humanities graduate from Carleton University, Troy previously held several operational and leadership roles for not-for-profit organizations, including serving as Co-Director for Hatch Entrepreneurship Centre, Communications Assistant for Wheelchair Basketball Canada, and Office Administrator for the Orléans Chamber of Commerce (now amalgamated with the Ottawa Board of Trade).

The Disability Tax Credit is a non-refundable tax credit used to reduce the amount of tax payable on your income. All or part of these amounts may be transferred between your spouse, common-law partner, or another supporting person. If a child under 18 years is eligible for the Disability Tax Credit, that child is also eligible for the child disability benefit. Learn more | DTC Brochure Access the DTC Step-by-Step Instructions DISABILITY TAX CREDIT AND YOU If you have a permanent ostomy, or temporary ostomy for at least 12 months, you can apply for the Disability Tax Credit. To be approved for the Disability Tax Credit, you must show two things: A) You are restricted in eliminating all, or substantially all of the time (at least 90% of the time), and B) it takes you an inordinate amount of time to manage bowel or bladder functions. (You spend at least three times as long as people without an ostomy for elimination). This time can include the following: Preparing and cleaning your skin and supplies; Pouch changes every 4-6 days; Meticulous skin care; Care of excoriated skin around the stoma; Bowel movements 5-7 times daily; Blockages; Some people with a colostomy manage elimination with irrigation which takes more time. People with a urostomy also prepare, clean, and sanitize night drainage bags. These points are general and may not apply to everyone. Please refer to the Ostomy Canada Society website for more information. Disability Tax Credit If you are denied after you submit the form, read your letter from CRA to see what is wrong or missing. In most cases, it is because the following phrase was not used on the form: For Urostomy: “Uses a device to eliminate the bladder. This patient is markedly restricted in eliminating with a device and takes an inordinate amount of time to personally manage bladder functions. In addition, personal management is very costly.” For Ileostomy or Colostomy: “Uses a device to eliminate the bowel. This patient is markedly restricted in eliminating with a device and takes an inordinate amount of time to personally manage bowel functions. In addition, personal management is very costly.” The Government of Canada now has a website where you can diagnose your Disability Tax Credit application problems.

Prairies, NWT & Nunavut < Back Angela Koziak BScN, RN, NSWOC, WOCC(C) Prairies, NWT & Nunavut My name is Angela Koziak and I have lived in Alberta my entire life. I live in Beaumont with my spouse Mark, my kids Noah (16), and Kailey (7). My stepson Castin (20) lives on his own now. I graduated from the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Alberta in 2004. As a student I worked in long term care. After graduation I worked in medicine and ICU. After having my son, I became a Case Manager in Supportive Living. Soon after, I met Bev Smith who inspired in me a fascination with wound care, encouraged me to join the direct nursing team and to take the NSWOC program. Not long after accepting my first NSWOC position Bev informed me of a new Core Program– Membership and encouraged me to join. I did and have had the pleasure of working and learning from Troy Curtis and Shelly Barnes. Shortly after the inception of this program, I advocated and became lead of our monthly Journal Club. I am so proud of the community of practitioners coming together every month. In addition to discussing current research, we learn so much from each other. This year I was offered the opportunity to present my work in community pessary management at the annual conference. I am completely honored to join my colleague Pat Dahlbeck in this endeavor. I have never felt more fire and passion for anything I have ever done in my career, nor have I ever had so much pride in belonging to an organization. I believe with my heart that I can bring my love of Wound Ostomy and Continence to the Prairies/Nunavet/Northwest Territories. It will be my commitment to join all members of NSWOC in this region and create community in our unique demographic.
