Yesterday, CCPA-Manitoba launched its eagerly awaited book, The Social Determinants of Health in Manitoba, edited by Lynne Fernandez, Shauna MacKinnon and Jim Silver. More than 50 people gathered at the William Norrie Centre on Selkirk Avenue to hear from the three editors and special guest Dennis Raphael from York University in Toronto. Dennis (above) is Canada’s leading expert on the social determinants of health and we were delighted that he was able to join us.
The book is available from the CCPA-MB office and costs $20.
The CCPA’s bold vision and creative solutions help us imagine better futures for all. Its efforts to build bridges between labour, industry, and civil society and mentor young activists lay the foundation for realizing those provocative futures. I consider my support for the CCPA an investment in a better future for British Columbia.
