"How do I become a fly-in SLP?"

I get this question A LOT, and to be honest, it's a hard one to answer! Because my geographic location is an urban hub in Northern Ontario (17 hours from Toronto and 8 hours from other urban centres), it's just something that necessarily exists where I live!

I wanted to take this opportunity to share some other things I considered when choosing this position, and whether or not it would work for me! Some other reasons I love to live and work in Northern Ontario are... I'm from here, I love the outdoors, the cost of living is lower than most other parts of Canada, and we have a really great local community.

Feel free to drop other questions you have about fly-in therapy to remote Indigenous communities!

P.S., Our furthest community is located 850 km from where I live!
