National Population Health Survey Highlights No 2: Physical Activity of Canadians

Health Canada
Ottawa (Ontario), 1999

Health Canada has released the National Population Health Survey Highlights No 2: Physical Activity of Canadians, which is based on results from cycle 2, 1996/97 of the National Population Health Survey (NPHS). The Highlights series was developed to provide descriptive information on health issues covered by the NPHS. Several groups within and outside of Health Canada contributed to the development of Highlights No 2, including the Fitness and Active Living Program Unit of the Health Promotion and Programs Branch, the Cancer Bureau and the Bureau of Cardio-respiratory Disease and Diabetes at the Laboratory Centre for Disease Control, and the Canadian Fitness and Lifestyle Research Institute.

Highlights No 2 and supplementary data tables are also available on the Cancer Bureau's Web site.

University of Ottawa Community Medicine Residency Program alumni(ae) to hold reunion breakfast at CPHA Annual Conference 2000

Between 1977 and 1998, the Community Medicine Residency Program at the University of Ottawa provided training in public health, offering unique opportunities for Community Medicine residents to work at federal and international levels as well as local levels. Sadly, that experience is no longer as readily available to the current generation of trainees, but the dozens of practitioners who went through the Program continue to extend its impact through their research, teaching and practice in Canada and abroad.

The Canadian Public Health Association (CPHA) is holding its 91st annual scientific conference and general meeting in Ottawa from October 22 to 25, 2000. What better opportunity for former residents to return to Ottawa and celebrate this formative experience, meet with colleagues and staff and learn about the new Institute of Population Health; there may even be new facilities to tour. Watch for the conference program to see the details about our alumni(ae) breakfast, and please let us know if you are planning to join us.

Best regards,
Chris Mills (cohort of 1990)
