“We need the CCPA to remind us that our dreams of a decent, egalitarian society are reasonable — indeed that with a little work, they are practical. And I love that practicality, that protection of the dream of the possible.”
— Naomi Klein
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.
