SUMMARY:šxʷʔam̓ət (home)
DESCRIPTION:šxʷʔam̓ət (home) \n\nJanuary 19th\, 2018\nSonghees Wellness Centre\, Victoria\, BC\n  \nšxʷʔam̓ət (home)\, our 2017 Forum Theatre production on issues of Reconciliation\, will be touring into 20 communities across BC and Alberta January 17 – February 25\, 2018\, including 2 shows in Victoria\, at the Songhees Wellness Centre. You can purchase tickets at this link: http://www.cadbayuc.org/theatre-for-living/ \n  \nšxʷʔam̓ət means home in Hǝn̓q̓ǝmin̓ǝm̓\, a Coast Salish dialect. A pronunciation guide is below. This word has so many different meanings to all of us who are living on this land. \n  \nConversations have been bubbling across the country about this word “Reconciliation” and what it really means. With the “Canada 150” anniversary this past year\, and with the closure of the “Truth and Reconciliation” offices in 2015\, there are many questions about what these policies\, proclamations\, and apologies mean to all of us who call this place “home”. \n  \nWhat does Reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people look and feel like?  How does this idea of “Reconciliation” translate into our day to day human relationships? \n  \nThis audience interactive play puts real\, tough\, current issues on the stage about the blockages we all face moving towards Reconciliation.  It asks the “What now?” question in regards to Reconciliation\, and compels audiences to think about Reconciliation not as a “thing of the past”\, but something that permeates many aspects of all of our lives. \n  \nCreated and performed by a courageous mixed Indigenous and non-Indigenous cast and production team\, šxʷʔam̓ət (home) weaves together stories based on real life and challenges us to make reconciliation true and honourable.  šxʷʔam̓ət (home) invites audiences to try to offer solutions to the real-life problems being presented on the stage. \n  \nšxʷʔam̓ət (home) is directed by David Diamond\, and Associate Director Renae Morriseau* with the following cast: Asivak Koostachin* (Inuk/Cree)\, Madeline Terbasket (Okanagan\, Ho-Cak & Anishnabe)\, Joey Lespérance*\, Mutya Macatumpag\, Nayden LA Palosaari (Cree)\, Rev. Meg Roberts*\, Sam Seward (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh & Snuneymuxw) \n  \n* Appearing courtesy of Canadian Actors’ Equity Association \n  \nPLEASE NOTE:         After 36 years of non-stop production and numerous tours\, this will be the final large touring production of the theatre company.

We started examining this new leadership style during our summer school and we look forward to delving deeper into transformative leadership and practice and its applications through different areas of public health\, including but not limited to; Child & Youth Health\, Indigenous Health\, Planetary Health-Healthy Built Environments\, and Immigrant & Refugee Health. \nThis two-day conference is a unique combination of key-note presentations\, case studies\, symposia and hands on workshops that dive into the meaning of transformative practice and social innovation and its applications across multiple sectors in public health. The PHABC Conference provides the opportunity for professionals throughout the province to meet\, mingle\, and learn. \n  \nOn the evening of November 15th\, 2017 we will be hosting a Public Forum at the Morris J Wosk Centre for Dialogue to celebrate the launch of the conference and the one year anniversary of Bridge 4 Health. please click here to be redirected to our Eventbrite page for more information and to register for this free event! \n  \nWe are excited to announce the release or our program schedule-at-a-glance\, check it out by clicking here \n  \nWe welcome participants who are working directly or indirectly on public health issues and health promoting activities across our province\, including but not limited to: \n\n\n\nPublic Health Professionals\nRecreation Practitioners\n\n\nFrontline Health Providers\nProgram & Project Planners\n\n\nMunicipal Council Members\nHealth Educators\n\n\nAcademics & Researchers\nPolicy Analysts\n\n\nGraduate & Medical Students\nCommunity Health Workers\n\n\n\n  \nWhy Attend?\nThis two-day conference is a unique collaboration of key-note presentations\, case studies and hands on workshops that dive into the meaning of transformative practice and social innovation and its applications across multiple sectors in public health.

SUMMARY:Fractured BC: Fracking\, Site C\, Health and Human Rights
DESCRIPTION:Fractured BC: Fracking\, Site C\, Health and Human Rights\n  \nThe Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) BC Volunteers would like to invite you to at attend Fractured BC: Fracking\, Site C\, Health and Human Rights. \n  \nIn April\, CAPE called for a moratorium on fracking BC and in Canada as a whole\, until the health risks are understood\, communicated widely\, and mitigated. \n  \nMany people have heard about the potential dangers of fracking\, but do not know what the consequences are. This event will outline the potential health and human rights consequences of fracking and related projects. It will help to make this part of public dialogue as the new BC government undertakes a scientific review of fracking and the need for the Site C dam. \n  \nFracking projects and Site C directly particularly affect First Nations Peoples. In a recent UBC report\, the authors called on provincial and federal governments to determine the full impact of Site C on treaty rights of the Treaty 8 First Nations who live in the Peace River region. Coauthor Gordon Christie stated\, “Although these communities’ rights are constitutionally protected\, we believe they have been systematically downplayed – even ignored – by governments.” [1] \n  \nWhat: A public dialog on the health and human rights impacts of fracking \nWhen: October 17th\, 6:30pm doors\, event begins at 7 \nWhere: Douglas College\, Coquitlam Campus\, 1250 Pinetree way\, A1470 – Lecture Theatre (across from Evergreen line skytrain\, Lafarge lake-Douglas Station) \nTickets: By donation- no one turned away: please reserve at Eventbrite and share our event on Facebook \n  \nSpeakers: \nDr. Warren Bell\, founder of CAPE and long-time environmental activist will speak on the health impacts of fracking and Site C \nDr. Gordon Christie\, professor of law at UBC whose research fields include Aboriginal legal issues\, legal theory\, and tort\, will speak about the legal implications of fracking and Site C on the health of First Nations peoples. \nRichard Wright\, is the spokesperson for the House of Luutkudziiwus of the Gitxsan Nation\, and will be speaking about the cumulative impacts of LNG infrastructure on First Nations people and all British Columbians. \nDr. Amy Lubik\, environmental health scientist\, will moderate \n  \n  \nJurisdictions across the world are banning or putting a moratorium on fracking for health reasons\, including several Canadian provinces. \n  \nCAPE invites the public to an open forum to make this issue part of the discussion before the the BC government holds scientific reviews of fracking and the Site C Dam. “We need both citizens and governments in BC to understand the health consequences of fracking\, LNG development and related projects”\, said Dr. Larry Barzelai. \n  \nPlease reserve your ticket here

Let your greatness blossom.” \nNelson Mandela \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Dan Meades\, provincial co-ordinator for the Transition House Association of Newfoundland and Labrador\, for a presentation on the success of Newfoundland and Labrador’s poverty reduction strategy. Having shared one of the worst poverty rates in Canada with BC\, they have reduced their poverty rate and food insecurity significantly through their poverty reduction plan. BC still has one of the highest poverty rates and is now the only province without a poverty reduction plan. \n  \nDan will be joined by Iglika Ivanova\, Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives\, Chantille Viaud from Gordon Neighbourhood House\, and DJ Larkin from PIVOT Legal Society to highlight the cost of poverty in BC and how we could achieve justice for all through a poverty reduction plan for BC. \n  \nBook your free ticket here! \nTuesday April 25\, 7:00-8:30 PM\nASL Interpretation Provided by Registered & Certified ASL-English Interpreters\nAlma VanDusen & Peter Kaye Room\nVancouver Public Library\n350 West Georgia St \n  \nClick here to register for the Webinar! \nThursday April 27\, 2017 from 3-4 PM.\nhttps://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/4347594702529853699\nRegistrants will be sent a video recording following the webinar \n  \nThis event is sponsored by: \n\nBC Alliance on Mental Health/Illness and Addictions\nBCGEU\nBC Poverty Reduction Coalition\nCommunity Legal Assistance Society\nVancouver Coastal Health\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Webinar: Design and modus operandi of a tool based on a reflexive approach (Reflex-ISS) to encourage the integration of equity into public health practices
DESCRIPTION:To register for the webinar in English\, click here. \nThe REFLEX-ISS tool was created to help stakeholders identify and address social inequalities of health at every stage of their action to improve population health. This tool was recently adapted and tested in Quebec. Throughout a project life cycle\, the tool helps galvanize conversation between stakeholders working in partnership. It builds on reflexive and meaningful professional practices through which stakeholders working together on an intervention can collectively consider how they are addressing social inequalities of health in their approach and explore potential improvements. \nThe webinar will be used to promote the tool\, and examine how to apply it using the case example of the Montérégie (Québec) public health unit. We will also discuss the added value of the REFLEX-ISS tool as a collaborative approach to better address social inequalities of health in public health interventions. \nPresenters: \n\nDr. Anne Guichard\, Assistant Professor\, Community Health\, Faculty of Nursing\, Laval University\nDr. Kareen Nour\, Manager\, Threat Management and Environmental Health\, Centre intégré de santé et de services sociaux de la Montérégie-Centre/Public Health Department\, and Clinical Associate Professor\, School of Public Health\, University of Montreal\n\nFaciliator: Sume Ndumbe-Eyoh\, Knowledge Translation Specialist\, NCCDH
