SUMMARY:Poverty Reduction Plans Work! Talk on the success of Newfoundland's poverty reduction strategy
DESCRIPTION:“Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity\, it is an act of justice. Like Slavery and Apartheid\, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. Sometimes it falls on a generation to be great. YOU can be that great generation. 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

SUMMARY:Working with opposition to harm reduction
DESCRIPTION:A public health response to the opioid crisis hinges on addressing widely held misconceptions about substance use disorders\, an evidence-based understanding of the principles of harm reduction\, and showcasing successful attempts to curb the opioid epidemic through humane and compassionate interventions. In this webinar\, Mr. Rob Boyd of the Oasis program at the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre will define harm reduction and focus on the experience of Oasis in garnering public support for the establishment of a supervised consumption facility in the face of political and community opposition. Through this illustrative example\, participants will come away with actions that can be taken by public health in their own communities. The webinar will also include an overview of CPHA’s most recent position statement: The Opioid Crisis in Canada. \n  \nRegister Now

Mary Ellen also holds advanced degrees from University of Cambridge and Harvard University\, obtained following time at Carleton University and York University. \nAppointed for a second term as BC’s Representative for Children and Youth in 2011\, during her tenure Mary Ellen released nearly 100 reports and 200 recommendations to help improve the lives of BC’s most vulnerable young people. \n“There is no resource more precious in BC than its children\,” she wrote in her final report. “Few would argue that and yet children have not been the focus of government in BC for many years. This government must work on its ability to own up to its shortcomings and address them. BC’s children deserve that much.” \n“I hope\,” Mary Ellen said in an October 2016 interview with Global News\, “they will say she held people’s feet to the fire and she went to where the kids were.” \n

SUMMARY:2016 PHABC Conference - Registration closes Dec 9th
DESCRIPTION:Strengthening Healthy Development: Education and Public Health in Partnership\nHealth and education sectors have different but complementary objectives: improving the health of learners contributes to improved learning outcomes; likewise\, better education improves health. \nPresented in partnership with the BC Teachers’ Federation \nLocation: Sheraton Airport Hotel\, Book your room\n7551 Westminster Highway\, Richmond\, BC \nRegistration is now open! Conference Registration Form\nWe invite students\, trainees and professionals from health\, education and allied sectors! \nPHABC is hosting its annual conference for 2016 in partnership with the BC Teachers’ Federation. This 2016 conference takes place on the 30th anniversary of the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion\, a foundational document within the Public Health sector.

SUMMARY:BC Healthy Living Alliance - Food insecurity in BC webinar
DESCRIPTION:Ripe for Change – Food Insecurity in BC  \nPlease join BC Healthy Living Alliance on Tuesday\, December 6th from 9:00-10:30 am for an informative webinar on food insecurity in BC. \nFood\, wonderful food! It nourishes us\, giving us the energy we need to lead active lives and provides a centre-point in important relationships as we cook for\, and with each other\, and join together for meals and special feasts.  But when food quality or quantity is compromised it creates stress and ultimately negative health consequences. \nThis webinar will delve into the current data and look at who is at risk for food insecurity in BC and what can be done about it. We hope to create a dynamic dialogue with many voices and opinions on how policy and practice can work to support food security for ALL British Columbians. \nSo please join us and add your perspective to the mix! \nFeatured Speakers: \nMelanie Kurrein will share the findings of a recent research project that explored the characteristics and health implications of food insecure households in BC. She will also speak to her team’s ongoing work on food costing\, which demonstrates the challenges low income families face in affording healthy food. The presentation will conclude with discussion of policy and practice implications. \nJammi Kumar will speak about the “First Nations Food Systems Program” a province wide project funded by the First Nations Health Authority and administered by Heart and Stroke Foundation Canada.  He will highlight what’s happening on the ground in First Nations communities – emphasizing what can be done to strengthen capacity and resilience. \nGerry Kasten will share key points from the new Dietitians of Canada position paper on Individual and Household Food Insecurity and introduce the audience to all of the associated resources. Gerry will also go through some of the actions that participants can undertake to start building more food secure communities. \n  \nSpeaker Profiles:  \nMelanie Kurrein is the Provincial Manager of Food Security with the Population and Public Health Team with the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) at PHSA. She has worked in food security for over 15 years at both local (health authority) and provincial levels. As the Provincial Manager of Food Security\, Melanie works closely with the regional health authorities\, the First Nations Health Authority and the Ministry of Health to facilitate provincial collaboration and coordination of activities to inform food security policy and initiatives across the province. In her spare time Melanie loves to be outdoors and loves most things to do with food including cooking\, gardening\, eating and reading about food! \nGerry Kasten loves food! He was born to a farming family and still helps his brother bring in the harvest each year.  He has an Honours Diploma in Commercial Cooking and has both Bachelors and Masters degrees in Nutrition. He has worked in Public Health in BC for the past twenty-six years\, has led the boards of directors of both Dietitians of Canada and the BC Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation and is also an Adjunct Professor in UBC’s Dietetics program.  Gerry’s varied past has led him to a critical analysis of the constructions of gender\, particularly as they are enacted through food.    He wants to live in a world where people celebrate food\, sharing it with those they love\, taking its pleasure without restraint because its flavour saturates their most sensuous appetites. \nJammi S. Kumar is the owner and operator of AgriFirst Canada\, an independent consulting firm specializing in First Nations Agriculture Development.  He is a trained Agriculture Economist and a certified Professional Agrologist.  With 20 years of experience in international agricultural development\, (Food and Agricultural Organization of United Nations) Jammi has expertise in areas of small farming systems development\, capacity building and organizational design; providing solutions to complex issues that involve balancing of culture\, environment and the business operations.
