CAST Building, Holland College, Charlottetown, PEI
The National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health (NCCDH) has teamed up with the Atlantic Summer Institute on Healthy and Safe Communities (ASI) and the NB and PEI Branch of the Canadian Public Health Association to offer people in Prince Edward Island an opportunity to explore health equity ideas and opportunities.
The interactive workshop is open to people in the broad public health sector: practitioners, community health leaders, policy developers and researchers…as well as people involved in education, safety, and social and economic development. Participants will examine models of good practice and public health leadership and share their experiences, all towards building a stronger community of practice for health equity on PEI.
