internationally-acclaimed keynote speakers will help us better understand
these issues and how they are interconnected.

John Ralston Saul, novelist and essayist, will speak on "The Fragility of
Civil Society" He is well-known for his wit, candour and political and
cultural acumen. His latest book, On Equilibrium, is an intelligent,
persuasive and controversial exploration of the essential qualities of
humanity and how to use them to achieve equilibrium for the self and an
ethical society.

Vandana Shiva is the Director of the Research Foundation for Science,
Technology and Natural Resource Policy in Dehradun, India. She is Ecology
Adviser to the Third World Network, which aims to bring about a greater
voice for people in the Third World, and a fair and ecologically sustainable
distribution of world resources. Her latest book is Stolen Harvest: The
Hijacking of the Global Food Supply.

Ilona Kickbusch is Professor and Head of the Division of Global Health in
the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at Yale University. Dr.
Kickbusch's interests are focused on governance challenges in global public
health and health promotion. Her areas of research include health promotion,
health literacy, healthy public policies and social resources for health.

Topics of the concurrent sessions fall into three themes: Community Action
Tools, Civic Engagement, and New Perspectives on Healthy Communities. These
themes are presented through case studies, participatory workshops, and
audiovisual presentations, and cover a broad spectrum of issues on the
environment, diversity, health and social justice. Our international forum,
Global Perspectives on Healthy Communities, brings representatives from
around the globe to share their insights with conference attendees and
participate in study tours of Healthy Community projects around Ontario. In
addition to the workshop sessions, over 30 exhibits will showcase products,
services and programs that will be of interest to those working towards a
healthy community.
