From one of my favorite organizations, the Ontario Healthy Communities Coalition - a very special and energetic event happening next week - June 19-20 in Orillia Ontario. If at all possible - plan now to take part in the Sunshine Conference. It will be of special interest to all groups who are working on developing and maintaining a coalition, finding funding, working with diverse communities and dealing with conflict resolution.
