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.
