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 Monitor is the only place I know that one can go to for accurate and honest reporting on the state of the world. I would hate like hell to ever be without The CCPA Monitor; it would be like losing my sight and my hearing. I heartily recommend it to anybody who gives a damn about the condition of the world.
