Health in Common in Partnership with Active and Safe Routes to School, Resource Conservation Manitoba is pleased to present

Webinar: Connecting with Public Health Professionals on Bike/Ped Issues

(includes Health Impact Assessments)

This policy-oriented webinar will demonstrate the connections between an active living partnership and bicycling/walking policies and programs. Presenters will discuss a case study from Hennepin County, Minnesota, in which technical assistance provided by an umbrella group through support from Blue Cross/Blue Shield (workshops on Complete Streets and Winter Walking) helped gather diverse constituencies to catalyze pedestrian and bicycle policies and planning.

Webinar participants will learn:

• How to understand and articulate the synergies between nonmotorized transportation planning and public health
• How governments, businesses and community partners can connect to develop partnerships to carry out this work
• How to create and successfully shepherd policies through approval by elected bodies.
• Webinar presenters are Karen Nikolai, Hennepin County (Minn.), and Vayong Moua, Center for Prevention/Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Minnesota.

This association of pedestrian and bicycle professionals webinar will take place from 2 – 3pm on December 16th in the boardroom of the Manitoba Eco-Centre on the 3rd floor of 303 Portage Avenue.

For more information or to register please contact Jackie Avent.

Call for photos reminder:

What stops people from being able to make healthy choices in your community? Lack of sidewalks? Inaccessible recreation space? Can you show it to us in a photo or two? Health in Common is looking for your photos of systemic and policy driven barriers to your healthy sustainable community. We’d like to build a collection of photos from across Manitoba that could be used in presentations, promotional materials for Health in Common, and in a photo album on our website.

Please send your photos to contact@healthincommon.ca and be sure to let us know where the photo was taken, along with a bit of a caption to tell your story. Thanks in advance – we can’t wait to see what you send in!

Photos Wanted!

What stops people from being able to make healthy choices in your community?  Lack of sidewalks?  Inaccessible recreation space?  Can you show it to us in a photo or two?  Health in Common is looking for your photos of systemic and policy driven barriers to your healthy sustainable community.  We’d like to build a collection of photos from across Manitoba that could be used in presentations, promotional materials for Health in Common, and in a photo album on our website.

Please send your photos to contact@healthincommon.ca and be sure to let us know where the photo was taken, along with a bit of a caption to tell your story.  Thanks in advance – we can’t wait to see what you send in!

The submission deadline for inclusion in the October E-Newsletter is September 25.
