SUMMARY:Is Facebook a Threat to Democracy?  A conversation about rights in the digital age
DESCRIPTION:Join Taylor Owen\, one of Canada’s leading experts on digital media ethics\, in conversation with The Walrus editor-in-chief Jessica Johnson. \nOnline platforms like Facebook\, which collect and share huge amounts of information\, are being accused of putting profit above democracy and the public good. \nCan government regulation protect us and our children from online harm and misinformation – or is Big Tech ungovernable?  \nHow  can Canadians balance freedom of expression and protection from harm on social media?  \nTaylor Owen is the Beaverbrook Chair in Media\, Ethics and Communications\, the founding director of The Center for Media\, Technology and Democracy\, and an Associate Professor in the Max Bell School of Public Policy at McGill University. He is the host of the Center of International Governance’s Big Tech podcast where he is also a Senior Fellow.

SUMMARY:ECHO Network Knowledge Exchange: Opening Session
DESCRIPTION:Day 1 of the ECHO Network Knowledge Exchange Sessions on “Honouring Complexity: Making Space to Address Cumulative Impacts\, Climate Change and Co-Benefits” \n  \n‘Healing Indicators’: ECHO Network Round Table Panel and Discussion \n  \nThis Healing Indicators session brings together a panel to discuss emerging research in Indigenous health and wellness in unceded northern BC. The session will explore the space between resource development\, Impact Assessment and nation-based sovereignty and self-determination over health\, as inextricably interconnected with the environment\, and ongoing needs for ‘healing indicators’ that reflect these relationships. \n  \nThe panel will lead into discussion and reflections from members of the ECHO network to explore these themes in different contexts\, ranging from Indigenous-led experiences in Aotearoa/New Zealand\, through to health authority experiences in northern BC. The session will also create space for discussion among participants about forward thinking work that realizes and promotes Indigenous leadership in the regulation of Health Impact Assessment and other integrative approaches to environment\, equity and health. \n  \nLearning objectives are two fold: \n\nTo analyze and discuss indicator work being done in support of community and nation driven health and wellness priorities.\nTo explore health and wellness as a space to amplify Indigenous self-determination and nation-based sovereignty over wellness programming and decision making.\n\n  \nTo register\, visit: https://unbc.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5wtcumhpz0sEteFNkJhHz8MghpVPQfqr3QG

SUMMARY:ECHO Network Knowledge Exchange: Health in Watersheds Exploring Connections and Data Complexities
DESCRIPTION:Day 3 of the ECHO Network Knowledge Exchange Sessions on “Honouring Complexity: Making Space to Address Cumulative Impacts\, Climate Change and Co-Benefits” \n  \nThis panel and discussion will profile examples of ‘health in watersheds’ work underway across the ECHO Network\, with an emphasis on environment\, community and health connections\, and the important data and integration challenges that arise when working at the watershed scale.

SUMMARY:OD PREP Episode 7: A Conversation with Laura Shaver and Reija Jean from BCAPOM
DESCRIPTION:The OD PREP series is coming to a close with our seventh and final installment: A Conversation with Laura Shaver and Reija Jean from the BC Association of People on Opiate Maintenance (BCAPOM) We are ending on a hopeful note. Laura and Reija are incredible peer activists who have worked tirelessly to expand access to opioid agonist therapy (OAT) across the province. \n  \nSafer supply is a critical issue. The Province has rolled out numerous iterations of prescription programs for people to supplement or replace their use of street drugs and reduce their risk of poisoning and overdose. Such a policy intervention is unprecedented and largely due to the lobbying efforts of grassroots organizations such as BCAPOM and VANDU. \n  \nJoin us next Tuesday\, November 30th at 2:30pm to hear from Reija and Laura about their organization\, partnerships and advocacy for an expanded peer network and access to OAT. The format is casual. They plan to chat with one another and with you to share their knowledge and answer your questions. As always\, the webinar is free to join!  \n  \nClick here to register. We hope to see you there!
