SUMMARY:Can Public Engagement Change Systems? October 6th - SFU Vancouver
DESCRIPTION:Addressing our toughest challenges—such as climate change\, housing affordability\, inequality or xenophobia—requires broad public will and action.

Facilitated by Centre for Dialogue director Shauna Sylvester\, this interactive conversation will address complex questions\, such as how citizen engagement initiatives can change the systems that affect our most difficult problems. \nLocation: SFU Vancouver – Harbour Centre\, Room 1400-1430 (Segal Centre)\nAdmission: $15+GST Adults | $8+GST Students/Seniors \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:2016 PHABC Conference - Call for Abstracts
DESCRIPTION:Strengthening Healthy Development: Education and Public Health in Partnership \nDecember 11-12\, 2016\nSheraton Airport Hotel\n7551 Westminster Hwy\, Richmond\, BC \n Call for Abstracts \nONLINE SUBMISSION: opens August 15th   \nOnline Submission Form \nSUBMISSION DEADLINE: September 15th\, 2016 at 5:00 pm \n The Public Health Association of British Columbia is hosting its annual conference for 2016. This year’s theme is “Strengthening Healthy Development: Education and Public Health in Partnership.” 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. \nWe recognize that the health and education sectors have different but complementary objectives; improving the health of learners contributes to improved learning outcomes\, while better education improves health. These themes are reflected throughout the conference planning and program. \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.\nTo view the full call for abstracts

SUMMARY:You’ve Got to Move it\, Move it!  - Building Communities that Motivate People to Walk and Bike
DESCRIPTION:BC Healthy Living Alliance invites you to an exciting webinar on healthier built environments. \nCommunities that make it more convenient and comfortable for people to walk and bike to where they need to go – also make it easier for people to be healthier. \nThere are stacks of studies that back this up.  Just last year\, the My Health\, My Community surveys found that Metro Vancouver residents who commuted by transit\, bike or on foot were twice as likely to get the recommended levels of physical activity.  Those that regularly walked or biked were also 48% more likely to be a healthy weight compared to those who commuted by car. \nThe relationship between active modes of travel and health is so strong that the World Health Organization has called investment in active transportation infrastructure a ‘best buy’ for governments. \nSo let’s talk about how to build support for community planning that makes it easier for people to get around by bike and on foot! \nClick here to register: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/3310558417949307906 \nSpeakers:  \nAngus McAllister will delve into recent research done for the Real Estate Foundation of BC on public opinions and attitudes around sustainability and the built environment. He’ll give us a sense of how these issues and what language resonates with British Columbians across the province\, in urban centres\, suburbs and small towns. \nDr. Kay Teschke will explain what her research says about different kinds of bike facilities – including which ones are safer and which ones motivate more people to start bicycling. \nJanet Rerecich will walk us through some of the online resources and tools that were developed through BCRPA’s BEAT project (Built Environment and Active Transportation).  She’ll show us how small communities have used the BEAT tools to build support and plans for active transportation and leveraged funding to get facilities built. \n

SUMMARY:NCCDH Webinar: Can a guaranteed annual income help level the playing field?
DESCRIPTION:  \nGuaranteed annual income (also called basic income guarantee) is experiencing a resurgence as a public policy approach to improving economic and social wellbeing. Analysis of data from the MINCOME study\, in which Manitoba residents (in Dauphin and some parts of Winnipeg) were guaranteed an annual income\, has been very influential for policy makers considering basic income support as a population-level intervention. Public health agencies and associations have expressed their support for guaranteed annual income\, and the Government of Ontario recently announced that it will fund a pilot basic income project in the province. \nThis webinar will focus on the effects of guaranteed income policies on wellbeing. It will also explore the role of public health actors in supporting guaranteed income policies. \n  \nAdvisors on tap: \nEvelyn Forget\, BA\, MA\, PhD\nProfessor\, Department of Community Health Sciences\, University of Manitoba\nAcademic Director of the Manitoba Research Data Centre \n  \nLisa Simon\, MD MPH CCFP FRCPC\nAssociate Medical Officer of Health\, Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit\nalPHa/OPHA Health Equity Work Group \n Facilitator: \nSume Ndumbe-Eyoh\, Hons BSc\, MHSc\nKnowledge Translation Specialist\, National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health \nClick here to register. \nhttp://nccdh.ca/workshops-events/entry/webinar-can-a-guaranteed-annual-income-help-level-the-playing-field
