It’s been an busy few months for Northern Health, but we’ve made a few great connections of note. After presenting on the ECHO-Northern Health  Knowledge Translation tools at the CPHA conference in October,   Dr. Fumerton and Sally were invited to do a webinar and blog post with the National Collaborating Centre for Environmental Health and their ongoing project on Health Impact Assessment (HIA). Stay tuned for these in the spring!

This update is focused on cross-ECHO happenings... instead of individual regional case updates, we've opted to created this dynamic padlet page where regional case coordinators have shared a few of the happenings in their regions.
Please have a look through to see some of the amazing work being done across the Network!

Indigenous Connections to Wildlife and Protected Areas

Sarah Skinner, Battle River Watershed Alliance

I've had some wonderful opportunities lately to explore connections between animal health, Indigenous bear and moose teachings, and Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas.

These connections have come from a diverse range of groups and initiatives, but have all been supporting me to build a more holistic understanding of meaningful approaches to the protection of landscapes, wildlife, and people. Many of these initiatives center Indigenous leadership and knowledge, and I'm looking forward to having conversations with Indigenous partners in the Battle River watershed to see how we may be able to incorporate these learnings into tangible actions in our region.

To the right, I've included links to some of the webalogues, organizations, and other resources that have been valuable to me on this journey so far, in case you're interested in learning more too!

This session explored the situations wherein we can all, regardless of our job description, work across species, sectors and generations to motivate action by discussing the upcoming book Animals, Health and Society: Health Promotion, Harm Reduction and Health Equity in a One Health World. A panel of the books publisher, editor and some authors provided their perspectives on why this book is timely and needed in a time of pandemics, climate change and mass extinction. The discussion will focused on finding perspectives and methods from a variety of fields and experts that could be shared and adapted to promote collaborative understanding of and action on determinants of health at the animal-society interface.

In 2018, the Government of Canada launched the Canadian Centre for Climate Services (CCCS) to provide Canadians with information and support to consider climate change in their decisions. The CCCS provides leadership in co-delivery of climate services across Canada, and it does this by coordinating with a growing national network of regional climate expert organizations. These regional organizations deliver local user-driven services, facilitate access to regionally tailored climate information, data and tools, and provide training and support to their stakeholders and clients.

The CCCS is currently seeking applicants to form a new Atlantic climate expert organization to meet the needs of Atlantic Canadians. This request for proposals will provide up to $1.648 million in funding over three years, with the opportunity for extension.

To be eligible to apply for the opportunity, applicants must be one of the following:

Not-for-profit organization, non-governmental organization (NGO)

Existing climate consortia

Indigenous government or organization

Academic institution

We invite you to apply now. The deadline for submitting a proposal is 11:59 pm Atlantic Standard Time (AST) on January 25, 2021.
Also, we invite you to participate in a webinar hosted by the CCCS and Atlantic provincial colleagues on Thursday, December 10th from 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm AST to answer any questions that you may have at this time. A meeting invitation with a Zoom link is attached to this message.
