For those who cannot attend, I will try to post a summary of the nature of
the discussion afterwards.

As well, I am hoping to put together some notes from this week's 4th
Canadian Conference on Health Promotion Research in Montreal on the theme
of:
La Promotion de la Sante et la Sante des Populations: Au Confluent des
Visions / Health Promotion and Population Health: a Meeting of Ideals.
I would appreciate it if anyone else who attended that conference could also
post their impressions and learnings.  We had the opportunity to see Michel
O'Neill's paper posted in this list-serv (and in Health Promotion list-serv)
in advance of this conference.  There are more activities, conferences,
workshops and forums (fora?) coming up in the next few weeks that could be
discussed here in CLICK4HP; along with the topics posed by Peggy Schultz and
Liz Rykert. I'm looking forward to some active postings over the next month!
