Where are the ecological determinants of health
Canada needs a funding institute focused on environments, health, and societal well-being research
Project Earthrise
The "Earthrise" photograph, taken on the 1968 Apollo 8 mission, became one of the most significant images of the 20th Century. It triggered a profound shift in environmental awareness and the potential for human unity-inspiring the first Earth Day in 1970. Taking inspiration from these events 50 years later, we initiated Project Earthrise at our 2020 annual conference of in VIVO Planetary Health. This builds on the emergent concept of planetary h…

inVIVO Planetary Health (inVIVO) is a progressive scientific movement providing evidence, advocacy, and inspiration to align the interests and vitality of people, place, and planet. Our goal is to transform personal and planetary health through awareness, attitudes, and actions, and a deeper understanding of how all systems are interconnected and interdependent. Here, we present the abstracts and proceedings of our 8th annual conference, held in …
Public health matters—but we need to make the case
Why public health matters today
Preparing for the future of public health
As a collective organized to address the education implications of calls for public health engagement on the ecological determinants of health, we, the Ecological Determinants Group on Education (cpha.ca/EDGE), urge the health community to properly understand and address the importance of the ecological determinants of the public's health, consistent with long-standing calls from many quarters-including Indigenous communities-and as part of an ec…
Critical considerations for the practical utility of health equity tools
These thematic clusters highlight the importance of user friendliness and having user guides, templates and resources to enhance use of equity tools. Furthermore, participants' indicated that practicality was not enough for a tool to be useful. In addition to practical characteristics of the tool, a useful tool is one that encourages and supports the development of practitioner competencies to engage in equity work including critical reflections …
Is public health training in Canada meeting current needs? Defrosting the paradigm freeze to respond to the post-truth era
Health scholars have long been calling for a new approach to understanding and responding to public health challenges, recognizing the dynamic influence of social and ecological processes and the importance of respecting different ways of knowing. With daunting new challenges to collective health, we sought to ascertain how future generations of public health researchers and practitioners are being prepared with the knowledge, attitudes, and skil…

Reducing health inequities
An important aim of this work is to help ensure a strong public health system that supports public health providers to have the knowledge, skills, tools and resources to undertake the promotion of health equity. This research will contribute to increasing the effectiveness and contributions of public health in reducing unfair and inequitable differences in health among population groups. As a collaborative effort between public health practitione…
Health promotion in Canada
Rights, Knowledge, and Governance for Improved Health Equity in Urban Settings
All three of the interacting aspects of daily urban life (physical environment, social conditions, and the added pressure of climate change) that affect health inequities are nested within the concept of urban governance, which has the task of understanding and managing the interactions among these different factors so that all three can be improved together and coherently. Governance is defined as: "the process of collective decision making and …

Emerging Strategies for Healthy Urban Governance
Urban health promotion is not simply a matter of the right interventions, or even the necessary resources. Urban (and indeed global) health depends to an important extent on governance, the institutions and processes through which societies manage the course of events. This paper describes the concept of governance, distinguishing between reforms aimed at improving how government works and innovations that more fundamentally reinvent governance b…

Lalonde and beyond
The Lalonde Report was published in 1974, and was the first significant government report to suggest that health care services were not the most important determinant of health. After reviewing the evidence, the report suggested that there were four “health fields”–lifestyle, environment, health care organization, human biology—and that major improvements in health would result primarily from improvements in lifestyle, environment and our knowled…

Healthy women and the future
Our desires for the future should lead us to take actions today to create the future we prefer, for we do create the future, both by our actions and by our failures to act. We can either sit back and accept what the future throws at us, or go out and create a better future for all. We can create a more healthy future that, as Lesley Doyal notes, will be a profoundly different society
From ‘public health in the 1980's’ to ‘healthy Toronto 2000’
Health, human development and the community ecosystem
Health, as both an expres and a component of human development, has to be seen in an ecological way as ‘the pattern that connects’ and the radical and subversive nature of an ecological approach needs to be recognized. Three ecological models are presented, that of health, the links between health, environment and economy (or between ‘health for all’ and sustainable development); and the social, environmental and eco nomic dimensions of a healthy…

Caveat Partner
First, let me begin by stating that I see nothing inherently evil in the private sector, nor anything inherently wrong about partnership with the private sector. After all, the private sector grows my food, builds my house, creates employment and in a myriad of ways meets our basic and no-so-basic needs. However, I do believe that there are some very difficult challenges to face in developing partnerships for health promotion with the private sec…
