Sign-up and attend anywhere you have internet \n  \n$60 +GST Regular 2-day Registration Rate* \n$50 +GST Student/Senior 2-day Registration Rate* \n  \n  \n*Attendees from BC\, SK\, MB and YT will also receive a 1 year membership to their region’s public health association \n  \nThe Public Health Association of BC is proud to release the Save the Date for our 11th annual public health summer institute\, “Think Globally\, Act Locally: Public Health and the Anthropocene\,” happening Thursday July 9th and Friday July 10th\, 2020. Once again\, we have partnered with Saskatchewan Public Health Association\, Public Health Agency of Canada\, Yukon Public Health Community of Practice\, and Manitoba Public Health Association to host this event across Canada. \n  \n  \nOver the last eleven years\, the summer institute has provided excellent opportunities for continuing education and professional development via a unique evidence-based program where participants can actively learn\, evaluate and test the principles of the curriculum through keynote presentations\, best practice examples and case studies\, team building exercises\, and hands-on activities. We strive to bring together public health professionals who work directly or indirectly with public health issues across numerous social service sectors and help to foster innovative solutions to the identified issues. Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic we have revised our summer institute to take place entirely online and therefore have been able to open registration to anyone interested in attending the institute\, regardless of location.  \n  \n  \nWe are excited to have Dr. Trevor Hancock and Dr. Maya Gislason as our scientific program co-chairs for this year’s school on the Anthropocene and Public Health. The Anthropocene is arguably the greatest threat to health in the 21st century\, barring nuclear war. In order to significantly reduce our ecological footprint\, a profound transformation of our society\, economy and entire way of life needs to be realized. Yet at the same time we want to maintain a good quality of life and good health for all\, and we want the transition to a ‘One Planet’ society to be socially just\, and not increase health inequity. This has important implications for population and public health practice\, at all levels from the local to the global.  Our intent is to locate this year’s summer institute in this global ecological context\, while grounding it in local public health action and linking it to the emerging debate about the need for transformative societal change and a just transition to a sustainable ‘One Planet’ society. \n  \n  \nWe are pleased to release our draft information package for the upcoming public health summer institute. In it you will find the final agenda for both days\, speaker biographies\, plenary and breakout sessions descriptions\, and more!
