SUMMARY:Vitamin D in Pregnancy: New Insights for Canadian Women - ONLINE LECTURE
DESCRIPTION:Canadian Nutrition Society\nVitamin D in Pregnancy: New Insights for Canadian Women\n2020 PhD Dissertation Award Lecture\nThursday\, May 28\, 2020\n9:00AM – 10:00AM PT\nTo register\, CLICK HERE\n  \n  \nSpeaker: Maude Perreault\, RD\, PhD\, McMaster University \nModerator: Stephanie A. Atkinson\, PhD\, DSc (Hon)\, FCAHS Professor\, McMaster University \nMaternal vitamin D status plays a major role in placental development\, and several aspects of “fetal programming”. Globally\, vitamin D deficiency in pregnancy is widely reported\, and has been associated with sub-optimal bone accretion and other adverse health outcomes in both mother and offspring. Our research aimed to assess maternal determinants of vitamin D status at different trimesters during pregnancy and how status impacts maternal and fetal bone metabolism. These findings\, along with detailed assessment of maternal habitual dietary intake throughout pregnancy\, provided a detailed profile of vitamin D status in relation to bone health in pregnant Canadian women. \n  \n  \nLearning Objectives:\n1. Understand the role of physiological adaptations in vitamin D during pregnancy in maternal and fetal bone metabolism \n2. Provide new evidence on the determinants of vitamin D status in pregnant women in southern Ontario over the last decade \n3. Discuss how the results of this research address commonly asked questions by health care providers and pregnant women. \n  \n  \nAbout the Speaker:\nDr. Maude Perreault completed a BSc in Nutrition at the Université de Montréal\, and became a registered dietitian in Québec in 2010 and in 2011\, qualified as a registered dietitian in Ontario. Following completion of a MSc in the Department of Human Health and Nutritional Sciences at the University of Guelph\, she completed her PhD in Medical Sciences\, Division of Metabolism and Nutrition at McMaster University under the supervision of Dr. Stephanie Atkinson in the Department of Pediatrics. Dr. Perreault’s clinical and research interests include maternal and infant nutrition\, with a focus on the developmental origins of health and disease. Her doctoral studies were supported by prestigious scholarships such as the CIHR Vanier doctoral award and a Career Enhancement Award from the Canadian Child Health Clinician Scientists Program. While at McMaster her academic and research achievements have been recognized with awards such as the Joanne Schweitzer Clinical Nutrition Abstract award and the Nestlé Nutrition Student and Trainee oral competition finalist award from the Canadian Nutrition Society (May 2018)\, as well as the Graduate Program’s Excellence award (May 2017) and the Graduate Leadership award (May 2019) from the Faculty of Health Sciences at McMaster University. \nTo register\, CLICK HERE

SUMMARY:Buildings\, Occupants and the Changing Environment - WEBINAR
DESCRIPTION:Buildings\, Occupants and the Changing Environment\nNational Collaborating Centre for Environmental Health\n  \nPresenter: Dr. Karen Bartlett\, School of Population and Public Health\, University of British Columbia \n  \n  \nOccupants of buildings depend on what we term “good” Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ). The actual definition of IEQ is somewhat elusive\, as it is the absence of problems in the indoor environment which could detract from the health and productivity of occupants. Buildings need to be designed and built with the occupant in mind\, and as we rapidly progress into sustainable building designs\, we also need to make sure that buildings can accommodate the changing environments of our cities and climate. We will explore some of the facets of the occupant/building interface in these changing environments. \n

SUMMARY:Don’t Let Them Down: Understanding Youth Vaping and What We Can Do About It - WEBINAR
DESCRIPTION:Don’t Let Them Down\nUnderstanding Youth Vaping and What We Can Do About It \n   \n  \n  \nPublic Health researcher\, Dr. David Hammond found that vaping increased by a stunning 74% among 16-19 year olds from 2017 to 2018; and with that cigarette smoking increased by 45% in the same period. \n  \n  \nPlease join the BC Alliance for Healthy Living on Thursday\, April 23rd\, 2020 from 9:00am- 10:30am for our webinar highlighting some new programs and other work by leading organizations to address the youth vaping epidemic in BC.  \n  \n  \nThere is much we have yet to understand about vaping. What are the long term effects of inhaling e-juice ingredients such as glycerine and propylene glycol?  How do flavours influence addiction?  Why do youth vape? What are the psycho-social factors we need to consider? \n  \n  \nRecent media coverage reporting on lung failure and other health complications related to vaping underscore our nascent understanding of the health risks inherent in these relatively new electronic nicotine devices. But one thing we know for sure are the effects of nicotine. Nicotine is harmful to healthy adolescent brain development and there has been a startling rise in nicotine usage and addiction among youth due to vaping. \n  \n  \nJoin us as we take a long look at vaping in BC to see what we can learn about the important work being done right here in our province: from youth surveys and research\, to educational campaigns and policy development.   \n  \n  \nRegister here: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/4123751751391374348 \n\nSPEAKER PROFILES:\n BC Lung Association: \nChristopher Lam is the President and CEO of the British Columbia Lung Association. His work includes initiatives on a provincial vaping strategy\, including programming and policy development. Chris is also spearheading the first Asthma Education Centre for Children as well as a provincial Lung Health Network\, providing patients with an advocacy voice. He has a two-year-old son who loves being outdoors\, exploring and just getting dirty. \n \nMcCreary Centre Society:  \nAnnie Smith has been the Executive Director of McCreary Centre Society (McCreary) since 2006. McCreary is a non-governmental not-for-profit committed to improving the health of BC youth through research\, evaluation and community based projects.  Annie has conducted a number of recent research projects about youth and vaping and is currently working on a full-length community friendly report about tobacco use and vaping among BC adolescents. \n Art Steinmann is the Manager of the Supporting and Connecting Youth (SACY)- Substance Use Health Promotion Initiative Program at the Vancouver School Board (VSB). This initiative\, now in its 15th year\, engages parents\, teachers\, students\, administrators and the greater community to strengthen school-based alcohol and drug prevention and early-intervention programs and policies.  Vaping education is a part of this work and Art will speak about what is happening in school(s)\, policies and programs in place and how vaping is impacting youth. Previous to working at VSB\, Art worked as a private consultant and prior to that was Executive Director of a substance use prevention non-profit organization for 18 years. Art enjoys many activities in beautiful Vancouver with his wife and family.

SUMMARY:Learning for Planetary Health: Early Lessons from a Pandemic - WEBINAR
DESCRIPTION:Learning for Planetary Health:\nEarly Lessons from a Pandemic \nWednesday\, April 15th\, 2020 from\n12:30-2:00pm Pacific Daylight Time\n  \n  \nAs we face one of the greatest challenges for public health in several generations with the COVID-19 pandemic\, we also have an unprecedented opportunity as governments and citizens prepare for a post-COVID future that we hope will not be simply restoring everything to the way it was.  The pandemic has been described as climate change at warp speed. But the response to this “greatest challenge” has been quite different. Since this is such a ripe opportunity for learning\, we (several eco-health colleagues and others) are organizing a couple webinars with perhaps more if there’s demand. We will begin by exploring the origins of the outbreak with lessons from the animal-human interface. We will then learn from previous economic collapses and what these lessons teach us about the coming weeks and months as we emerge from the current wave of disease and economic devastation to become a healthier planet than we were before the current pandemic. We will explore the relationships and resources needed for a recovery that makes us stronger and better able to face the challenges to planetary health that are even more critical than the COVID-19 pandemic\, but that appear less imminent to society. Our primary goal is to articulate a shared vision of this future where society bounces back but bounces back to a better place than our pre-pandemic world. \nModerator: Chris Buse\, Centre for Environmental Assessment Research\, UBC \nOur contributors will be: \n\nMira Ziolo\, Consulting Veterinarian at Wildlife Rescue Association of BC\, PhD Student\, UBC Interdisciplinary PhD student\nTim Takaro\, Professor\, Faculty of Health Sciences\, Simon Fraser University\nTrevor Hancock\, Retired Professor and Senior Scholar\, School of Public Health and Social Policy\, University of Victoria\n\n  \nYou can REGISTER for this webalogue by clicking HERE

SUMMARY:National Collaborating Centre for Environmental Health - Healthy Built Environment Forum Webinar
DESCRIPTION:National Collaborating Centre for Environmental Health\nHealthy Built Environment Forum Webinar\nA Whole Systems Approach to Health Equity and Housing\n  \nPresenter:  \nRabindra (Rob) Mahabeer MSc. CIPHI(C)\nPublic Health Inspector\, Alberta Health Services \nTueday\, March 17\, 2020\n11 AM – 12:30 PM Pacific Time\n \n  \nHealth equity impacts housing in multiple ways. A population\, community\, and individual’s physical and social determinants of health interact with health inequities to produce measurable health inequalities often demonstrated through unsafe and unhealthy housing conditions. Environmental Public Health must be able to strategically adapt to working at all levels to fully address this complex situation. A whole systems approach understands that multi-level engagement opportunities exist and are met differently. Mediating strategy through evidence-informed policy is important. Gathering\, collating\, and synthesizing data to provide evidence is fundamental. Operational-based evidence presented in a cohesive and easily understood manner drives the iterative policymaking process. Using a single data structure\, coordinating population- and individual-level engagement\, and understanding health inequities are cornerstones of a whole-systems approach. \n  \nAlberta public health inspectors have regulatory authority to inspect rental accommodations and are often requested to advise on private housing. Acting from both a proactive and reactive posture\, inspectors adopt both an enforcement and engagement role. This webinar will examine how health inspectors and other public health professionals can assess and identify health inequities associated with housing. The discussion portion will focus on how to apply evidence into action. \n  \nPresenter Bio \n  \nRob Mahabeer is a public health inspector with 17 years’ experience in Food Safety/Special Projects (Capital Health/Alberta Health Services)\, and Health Education (AHS: Knowledge Management and Learning). Rob worked emergencies and disasters in Anzac (2002)\, Calgary/High River (2014)\, and Fort MacMurray (2016). He completed a Master’s degree in Health Promotion at the University of Alberta in 2013 focusing on Health Promotion in Environmental Public Health Practice. Health equity is a dual and complementary process to health promotion\, not only enabling healthy choices but also understanding why making those choices and lifestyle changes is more difficult for some than others. Rob believes that public health inspectors are uniquely positioned to work with public\, governmental\, and non-governmental organizations to identify and facilitate health equity. \n  \nWebinar Format \n  \nThe presentation portion will be approximately 30 minutes\, followed by 45 minutes of Q&A and discussion questions. Participants will be able to chat via the chat box.

SUMMARY:36th International Seating Symposium
DESCRIPTION:36th International Seating Symposium\nMarch 3-6\, 2020\nThe Westin Bayshore\, Vancouver\, BC\n  \nThis international symposium addresses current and future developments in the areas of seating\, positioning and mobility. Topic areas include service delivery\, product development\, research and outcomes. The format for the symposium will include pre-symposium\, plenary\, instructional\, paper and poster sessions. \n  \n  \nAbstract Submission \nAbstract Submission is now open! Please visit: http://seatingsymposium.com/call-for-abstracts.php for instructions before submitting. \n  \n\n  \nAbout the ISS \nThe International Seating Symposium (ISS) is considered one of the premier meetings in the world of dedicated clinicians\, researchers\, manufacturers\, and others who work to improve seating and mobility among people with disabilities. \n  \nVancouver’s Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children (SHHC) and the University of British Columbia celebrated the 30th International Seating Symposium in Vancouver in March 2014. It was a journey that started in 1982. The members of the Vancouver Seating Special Interest group had a desire to learn more about this intriguing subject of seating and mobility. They decided that the best way of learning more about seating and mobility was to bring the experts to them. Getting funding to host the first conference was a challenge but the BC Kinsmen Foundation took the risk. Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children took the lead in organizing the first symposium. The initial organizers\, Lori Roxborough\, Daphne Neen\, Maureen Story\, Bob Gobert\, Elaine Liau and Dr. Stephen Tredwell brought clinicians\, researchers and exhibitors together to develop resources\, and create a forum that fostered an exchange of ideas and created a network focused on seating and mobility. \n  \nIn 1986 Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children was approached by Doug Hobson of the University of Tennessee\, Memphis with the proposal of forming a partnership. The 3rd ISS was held in Memphis in 1987. Our partnership has continued with ISS being held in Vancouver on the even years and in the USA (University of Tennessee then University of Pittsburgh) on the odd years. \n  \nThis initial meeting in 1983 had 98 participants and 11 exhibitors with a real focus on “seating the disabled”. In 2014 we’ve grown to 1138 participants from 27 countries and over 100 exhibitors. We have partner conferences around the world including U.S.\, Ireland\, Brazil\, and Asia. \n  \n\n  \nFind more information and event updates at www.seatingsymposium.com. \n  \n  \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Webinar: Healthy School Programs\, Healthy Kids
DESCRIPTION:  \nOnly one third of school-aged kids in Canada are meeting the Canadian 24-Hour-Movement Guidelines and the number of kids eating enough vegetables and fruit isn’t much better.  But two projects are working to change the current health landscape in schools. Please join the BC Alliance for Healthy Living on Thursday\, January 16th\, 2020 from 9:00am- 10:00am for our webinar featuring two exciting initiatives designed for healthier schools and kids. \n  \nLearn about BC Recreation and Parks Association’s (BCRPA) province-wide ‘before and after school recreation program grants’. These programs focus on physical activity\, connecting to nature\, outdoor play and engaging in culture\, sports and the arts. \n  \nIn addition to program funding\, BCRPA also provides training on how to deal with challenging behaviours and support mental health\, which creates safe\, active environment for all. \n  \nMomentum is building for a National Healthy School Food Program. The BC Chapter of the Coalition for Healthy School Food leads the way as the first provincial chapter of this national coalition seeking federal investment in a Universal Healthy School Food Program to support the health\, well-being and education of all Canadian children. Learn about how other countries are handling school food\, as well as\, the important work being done right here in BC and find out about potential policy hurdles as well as opportunities. \n  \nBe inspired on as we talk about two ways of making kids’ lives healthier\, by increasing kids’ access to physical activity and healthy food!  Please join us for this free webinar! \n \nSPEAKER PROFILES:\n \nBCRPA: \nNoelle Virtue is the Project Manager at the BC Recreation and Parks Association working on initiatives at both ends of the age spectrum – infants to 13 years and older adults.
