Canadian Public Health Association (CPHA)
2007 Annual Conference
"Public Health in Canada: From Politics to the People"
together with the first
Canadian Public Health Geomatics Conference
"Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in Public Health"
Sep 16-19, 2007
Ottawa, Ontario
From the Naylor Report to today, public health system renewal has been
taking place at the federal, provincial and local level. But much more
must be done and governments need input and direction from Canadians and
public health experts to ensure that they build the best system for
Canada.
The Canadian Public Health Association, in conjunction with our
partners, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research's Institute of
Population and Public Health (IPPH), the Canadian Institute for Health
Information's Canadian Population Health Initiative (CPHI) and the
Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), are hosting a conference that
highlights the importance of public and population health in Canada.
This conference will be an excellent opportunity for public health
professionals to share their programs, research, policy and practice and
will give everyone an opportunity to emphasize the intra-jurisdictional
nature of public health.
See the CPHA conference website for more information:
