Hello:

The Epp Report (1986) Achieving Health for All, is posted on the Health Canada
web site at:

http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hppb/hpo/ahfa.htm

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its great to see the Epp Report being available on a Government of Canada web
site.

It still reads remarkably fresh after 13 years and offers a progressive,
community-based orientation towards identifying and working to improve
Canadians' health and well-being.  Too bad it is only available there in a basic
text version and not in a fancy pdf-type version.  Perhaps people at health
canada can consider having this made available in this way.

Also, maybe, Alex Scott-Samuel can arrange to have Click for HPer's obtain some
of the outputs from the conference described below...

Health Promotion: The Theoretical Debate

a one day seminar to consider current theories of health
promotion

The Showroom, Sheffield, Friday 19th November 1999

This is the third annual seminar on theory in health
promotion. The previous two seminars were very successful
with participants welcoming the opportunity to hear and
debate with leading thinkers on a variety of issues
concerning public health and health promotion.

This years programme features an impressive line up of
speakers who will present a theoretical perspective on some
vital issues of health promotion practice for today and for
the future.

Alex Scott Samuel, Liverpool University, will critique
health promotion policy under New Labour.

Dexter Whitfield of the Centre for Public Services,
explores the State of the future and asserts ..'No third
way for health promotion'

Marion Barnes, Birmingham University, poses the question 'a
duty to participate'? And discusses opportunities and
pitfalls in community participation.

Geof Rayner, Chair of the UK Public Health Association,
will present From Aarhus to Our House: The international,
national and local implications of the (1998) Aarhus
Convention for the strengthening of public access to
information, participation in decision-making and access to
justice in the context of the environment and
environment-related health. Phew!

Hazel Slavin, Consultant in International Health Promotion,
will suggest lessons from work in poor countries for health
promotion in the UK.

Maddy Halliday, Co-ordinator Healthy Glasgow, will look at
Health 21, and discuss 'rhetoric or commitment'?

Jol Miskin, Tutor Organiser, South Yorkshire Workers
Education Association, presents a paper on 'working class
adult education...radical approaches'

Ewan Armstrong, Health Promotion Consultant and Trainer,
will provide a summary of the day.

The day will be chaired by Lee Adams

Cost (including lunch and refreshments), £160; students,
small voluntary agencies £80.

The venue is a new and modern independent cinema complex,
with conference facilities, close to Sheffield station. The
food is wonderful and if you get bored (which you won't)
you can always go and see a film. The National Centre for
Popular Music is opposite and the other myriad attractions
of Sheffield and the Peak District are a stones throw away
if you want to make a weekend of it. The seminar will be of
interest to health promotion/public health specialists,
academics and activists as well as those interested in this
field. It is not necessary to have attended the previous
seminars to find this event useful.

Places are limited so please book early. For more
