Dear CANCHID colleagues,

We hope you're already planning to join us for the Community-Campus 
Partnerships for Health (CCPH) 10TH ANNIVERSARY CONFERENCE, "Mobilizing 
Partnerships for Social Change" April 11-14, 2007, in Toronto, ON, Canada!

Scholarship funding is available for community-based conference participants 
from the U.S. and Canada to help defray the cost of registration fees, hotel 
accommodation, and/or transportation.  The deadline to apply is Tuesday, 
January 16, 2007 (for community-based participants in the US and Canada) and 
Monday January 29, 2007 (for community-based individuals, including students, 
from Ontario, Canada who are addressing HIV in the context of social 
determinants of health).  For details, visit

More about the conference...

How do we combine the knowledge and wisdom in communities and in academic
institutions to solve the major health, social and economic challenges
facing our society? How do we ensure that community-driven social change is 
central to service-learning and community-based participatory research?

Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH) is convening our 10th
anniversary conference, April 11-14, 2007 in Toronto, to nurture a growing
network of community-campus partnerships that are striving to achieve the
systems and policy changes needed to address the root causes of health,
social and economic inequalities. The conference seeks to build knowledge,
skills and actions for achieving healthy and just societies.

We're delighted to have confirmed two Aboriginal social justice leaders
from Canada as opening plenary speakers:  Sylvia Maracle, Executive Director, 
Ontario Federation of Indian Friendship Centres and Jeff Reading, Scientific 
Director, Canadian Institutes of Health Research-Institute of Aboriginal 
Peoples' Health.  Learn more about them at 
http://depts.washington.edu/ccph/conf-program.html#KeynoteSpeakers

Conference workshops and community site visits will address these
sub-themes:
*Understanding and Addressing the Social Determinants of Health
*From Grassroots Movements to Policy Change
*Communities as Centers of Learning, Discovery and Engagement
*Developing the Science of Community-Based or Practice-Based Evidence

This CCPH conference in particular is notable for a number of reasons:

*It celebrates our 10th anniversary, allowing us to reflect on our history
and evolution and engage stakeholders in determining our future directions.

*It is our first conference held in Canada, presenting unprecedented
opportunities to learn from Canadian experiences with community-campus
partnerships and the social determinants of health, and to explore synergies 
across North America and beyond.

*It takes place in one of the most diverse cities in the world, enabling us to 
explore critical issues of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, wealth and 
culture.

*It represents an important product of our partnership with the Wellesley
Institute (www.wellesleyinstitute.com), the Toronto-based organization that 
advances the social determinants of health through rigorous community-based 
research, reciprocal capacity building, and the informing of public policy.

We hope you can join us in April in Toronto!
