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

DESCRIPTION:Our annual First Call gala features a delicious Indian buffet dinner\, a silent auction full of amazing gifts\, tickets to arts events\, getaways and more\, a raffle with exciting prizes\, time to mingle with old and new friends\, and a chance to celebrate Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond’s work for the children and youth of our province. \nTickets: $75 per seat\, or $40 for those on a fixed income\, and reserved tables of 8 for $575. \nPlease purchase or register all individual tickets and group tables of 8 online here. \nFor more information please call 604-709-6970 or email john@firstcallbc.org. \nLearn more at www.firstcallbc.org/gala/ \nMARY ELLEN TURPEL-LAFOND \nKnown to many for her work as British Columbia’s Representative for Children and Youth since 2006\, Mary Ellen was appointed a judge in Saskatchewan at age 35 and has taught or lectured at a number of universities from University of Victoria to Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia. \nBefore establishing her legacy as a fierce advocate for BC’s young people\, Mary Ellen was named by TIME magazine as one of the 100 Global Leaders of Tomorrow in 1994 and one of the Top 20 Canadian Leaders for the 21st Century in 1999. 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. The Charter recognized that health promotion cannot be achieved by the health sector acting alone and that health promotion involved advocating for structural change and nurturing individual empowerment to allow individuals\, families and communities to increase control over their health and well-being. \nLikewise\, education is not limited to a single sector. Here we include both formal and informal education\, from early childhood to old age – in other words\, lifelong learning. At the same time\, we have a particular focus on the main settings for formal education – schools (K-12) as well as preschool settings\, and post-secondary education. \nPurpose: \nTo create a forum for deliberative dialogue and respectful exchange of ideas related to the intersections of public health and education\, in order to build meaningful collaboration\, mutual understanding and support between the public health and education communities in achieving well-being for all. \nView program here: 2016 PHABC Conference – Final Program\nRegistration Rates:\n\n\n\nType of Registration\nEarly-Bird (Ends Nov. 1st)\nRegular Registration\n\n\n2 days PHABC member\n$312.40\n$356.00\n\n\n2 days Non-member\n$396.00\n$440.00\n\n\n2 days senior and students PHABC Member\n$267.30\n$305.00\n\n\n2 days senior and students non-PHABC Member\n$313.50\n$352.00\n\n\n1 day registration (either day)\n$261.80\n$286.00\n\n\n\nSpecial 1 day or 2 day registration rates will be offered to abstract presenters upon confirmation at the end of September* \nStudents interested in volunteering are encouraged to contact coordinator@phabc.org to make arrangements for registration. \nConference Online Registration\nAccommodation: \nRooms at the Sheraton Airport Hotel will be available to book at a group rate.

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.

SUMMARY:Innoweave Impact Accelerator Workshop!
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in enhancing the impact of your organization or collaborative? Are you interested in exploring the different social innovation approaches and tools that are helping other organizations achieve greater impact? \nIf yes\, you should register for the Innoweave Impact Accelerator\, hosted in partnership with BC Healthy Communities. \nWhat is the Innoweave Impact Accelerator? \nSince its launch in 2012\, Innoweave has leveraged social innovation tools to help hundreds of organizations advance their mission and generate greater impact. We have used that experience to develop the Innoweave Impact Accelerator\, a mini-workshop that helps organizations and collaboratives to clarify the impact they are working to achieve. A clear impact focus helps organizations and collaboratives more easily identify which social innovation approaches (such as developing a social enterprise) they can leverage to achieve and accelerate their impact. \nWhat does the Innoweave Impact Accelerator involve? \nThe Impact Accelerator will: \n·         Provide leadership teams and collaboratives an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day activities and think critically about the impact they are trying to achieve through their work. \n·         Guide organizations and collaboratives through activities that will help them translate their aspirational mission into specific achievable impact goals. The session also introduces Theory of Change – a clear and actionable hypothesis of how an organization or collaborative will achieve its intended impact. \n·         Provide participants with the opportunity to engage with and learn from other organizations that have successfully implemented social innovation tools to achieve their impact. \n·         Understand supports available through the Innoweave process\, and highlight opportunities to access coaching funding through Innoweave. \nEvent details\nDeadline: Please register your team by Friday\, October 14th\, 2016\nRegister: Sign up here. Organizations are encouraged to bring a team of 2-3 people to the workshop (e.g. members of their leadership team\, board members and in some cases key stakeholders/advisors). \nWhat happens after attending an Innoweave Impact Accelerator session? \nOrganizations who want to build off their work in the Impact Accelerator and further clarify their impact may apply directly for the next wave of the Impact & Strategic Clarity module – apply here. \nOrganizations that attend the Impact Accelerator will also have the opportunity to register and apply for upcoming introductory webinars and full-day workshops focused on specific Innoweave modules that are designed to accelerate impact. A list of all upcoming webinars and workshops is available here.  Organizations that attend a full-day workshop for a specific module are eligible to apply for Innoweave Implementation Funding in January and July of each year. \nIf you have questions or would like additional information\, please email info@innoweave.ca
