Subject: upcoming conference Forgotten Families: Globalization and the
Health of Canadians

 

Upcoming National Conference Co-sponsored by the Parkland Institute and the
Canadian Institutes of Health Research.

Forgotten Families: Globalization and the Health of Canadians
February 6-8, 2007
Lister Conference Centre, University of Alberta, Edmonton

Canada's responses to the forces of international globalization have not led
to improvements in the health of Canadians. Our communities are changing,
inequality is increasing, and economic and social disparities are affecting
all of us in many ways that we do not fully understand.

Population health is affected by much more than health care. This
multi-disciplinary conference launches a national network of researchers
from 10 Canadian universities determined to improve our understanding of the
affects of globalization on the social determinants of health in our
metropolitan areas.

Community activists, public servants, health care providers, settlement
workers, students, urban planners, public policy researchers, and social
workers will all find this conference to be of great interest.

Registration $45 regular and $20 student / low income. (Includes lunch)
Registration form and schedule are available on the website.
