1. OUR NEW PARTNER
Research Update is a free, quarterly publication that profiles current
research in physical activity. Over the last few years Research Update has
had a very fruitful partnership with the Alberta Cancer Board, Division of
Epidemiology, Prevention, and Screening. We appreciate the many excellent
articles on cancer prevention produced by the Alberta Cancer Board for
Research Update.
We now have a new partner--the Dietitians of Canada--who will help us
produce two issues of Research Update a year, starting with January's issue.
We are very pleased that Dr. Ann Casebeer from the University of Calgary has
produced an article on Healthy Public Policy for this September issue.
