Looking Back, Thinking Ahead: Using Research to Improve Policy 
and Practice in Women´s Health 
March 15 - 18, 2009 
Halifax, Nova Scotia 

Women´s health research and policy in Canada has been growing and 
evolving in recent decades, a process that has been fostered and enhanced 
by the federal government´s investment in the Women´s Health 
Contribution Program, the investment in research chairs in women´s health, 
and a growing recognition of the value of gender-based analysis in 
research, policy and practice. 

Despite the importance of women´s health issues and the tremendous 
strides made in knowledge generation and translation in this area, it has 
been many years since Canada hosted a national or international 
conference on women´s health research and policy. The purpose of this 
conference is to celebrate the developments in women´s health, and to look 
forward to new directions. 

Keynote address by Michele Landsberg, speaking on feminism and 
women´s health in Canada. 

Plenary speakers include Lorraine Greaves, Joy Johnson, Ellisa Johnson, 
Jessica Yee, Billy Rogers, Theda New Breast, Marion Stevens and Anu 
Pillay.
