Apologies for cross postings. Dear HP friends, Last week Dr. Irving Rootman was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Law degree from UVIC for his lifetime contributions to health promotion. http://communications.uvic.ca/releases/release.php?display=release&id=1434 For those of us who could not be with Irv in Victoria on this special occasion, we can watch Irv's touching speech and a wonderful introduction by Dr. Michael Hayes. It starts at 25:30 minutes. Irv, I hope you enjoy the well deserved recognition for your enormous contributions that extend well beyond Canada. Above all, thank you for being so generous with your knowledge, so humble, supportive and inspiring to so many of us. http://www.uvic.ca/convocation/past/2014-nov-10-am.php Paola [image: photo] *Paola Ardiles* Adjunct Professor, Simon Fraser University Founder & Network Lead, Bridge For Health p:604-428-1517 | e:[log in to unmask] | w:http://bridgeforhealth.org a: 3186 East 4th Ave, Vancouver BC.
