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.
