St. Francis Xavier's University's Extension Department has organized a
"People's School on Health."  There are five Workshops associated with the
school entitled:  Health and Empowerment; Globalization, Inequities and Our
Health; Health Public Policy: What it is and how can we influence it?;
Health Impact Assessment; and Towards Solutions.  To my knowledge it is the
first systematic attempt to consider the origins and effects of economic
inequality upon health within Canada.

The workshops are being held in Antigonish Oct 2, Oct. 16, Oct. 30, Nov.
14, Nov 27. I wish I could be there!

To my knowledge it is the first systematic attempt to consider the origins
and effects of economic inequality and other broad determinants upon health
within Canada.

  ********************************************************************
  Long have I looked for the truth about the life of people together.
  That life is crisscrossed, tangled, and difficult to understand.
  I have worked hard to understand it and when I had done so
  I told the truth as I found it.

  - Bertolt Brecht
